arts degree
Liberal studies diploma
An arts degree is an undergraduate qualification in humanities, social sciences, or creative fields—typically a Bachelor of Arts (BA).
The term often carries dismissive connotations, implying impractical education compared to science or professional degrees: What are you going to do with an arts degree?
In British and Australian usage, arts degree commonly describes any non-science university qualification.
