B.A. Degrees in the United States. In the U. S., a Bachelor of Arts degree program usually requires a minimum of four years of full-time study beyond secondary school. A B.A. degree program is typically awarded for broad academic studies, rather than more specific, career-focused fields, many of which award a Bachelor of Science.
The A in B.A. or M.A. stands for arts and means that the person who received the degree focused on a liberal arts curriculum as a part of their degree program as opposed to a purely science-focused curriculum (which would earn a Bachelor of Science or Master of Science degree).
