Am I pursuing a “degree in” or “of computer science”? On my profile, I described my career status as:


  Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science at Temple College.


Is using in or of the correct preposition used in an academic setting?
In the context 'in' is right, even if the eventual degree is called "Master of Computer Science". I hold a degree in mathematics, but its formal title is 'Master of Mathematics'. My first degree, also in mathematics was, formally, Bachelor of Arts.

There is a distinction between the subject of a degree and its formal title.
