arts degrees
Non-science university credentials
Arts degrees are undergraduate or graduate credentials in humanities, social sciences, and related fields—literature, history, philosophy, sociology, fine arts.
Often contrasted with science or professional degrees: She has an arts degree, not engineering.
The term sometimes carries dismissive connotations about job prospects: Good luck finding work with that arts degree.
In formal contexts, abbreviated BA (Bachelor of Arts) or MA (Master of Arts).
