Hi Jennifer,

Create a validation rule like below on the user object:

For example the below formula will prevent all the users except "System Admin profile" (Since I am using Profile Id of system admin) users to edit "title" field on user record. 
ProfileId != '00ef4000001sg2ZABC' && ISCHANGED( Title )
You can replace and add more profiles which you want to prevent from editing with your orgs Profile Ids.

Note: Please make sure your validation rule is active and no other similar validation rules are in place.

Hope this helps! Please mark as best if it does.

Thanks

For the benefit of others, you can get the profile ID by executing the query - SELECT Name, ID FROM Profile in Query Editor. (Setup > DevConsole > Query Editor)
