Titles of Master`s Degrees
The two most common titles of master's degrees are the Master of Arts (M.A.) and Master of Science (M.S., M.Si., or M.Sc.). Some universities use the Latin degree names; because of the flexibility of word order in Latin, the Master of Arts and Master of Science may be known as magister artium or artium magister and magister scientiae or scientiae magister, respectively. Harvard University, for example, uses A.M. and S.M. for their master's degrees. More commonly, Master of Science often is abbreviated MS or M.S. in the United States, and MSc or M.Sc. in Commonwealth nations and Europe.
Master of Arts (M.A.)
A Master of Arts degree is a general graduate degree that is usually associated with different specializations. Some of the specializations are Psychology, English, Human Resources, Education and Counseling. Master's degree programs may be either research-based, coursework-based or a combination of the two. A Bachelor's Degree is normally required for admission to a Master's Degree program. The average time to complete this program is two years after the completion of a Bachelor's Degree.
Master of Science (M.S.)
A Master of Science degree is based on scientific learning. A bachelor's degree in a related field is almost always a prerequisite science, information science, aviation and environmental studies. Graduates who have earned a Master of Science degree often go on to pursue a doctoral degree.
