BA vs MA
BA and MA are two courses offered incolleges and universitiesthat show differences between them when it comes to their course content and syllabi. The expansion of BA is Bachelor of Arts. On the other hand, the expansion of MA is Master of Arts. One is anundergraduatedegree course and the other is a研究生degree course. This is the main difference between the two courses. Though both are degrees offered in the arts stream, they are very different from one another. BA is the first degree in the arts stream. Therefore, though it carries a good educational as well as a professional value, this degree is more of a general study of several subjects. MA, on the other hand, is more in-depth study of a single subject.
What is BA?
BA is a three-year degree course. In some cases, this study period extends to four years. It is an undergraduate course. After completing the course, the person is given the degree or the certificate of graduation. Until he completes the course, he is called an undergraduate only.
It is important to know that the students who do their BA degree courses should necessarily study an ancillary or an allied subject too in the first two years of the course of their study. However, remember that this depends on the university in which you study. Since BA is the first degree and the entry requirement is a good grade in the final examination at your school, a large number of students study for BA.
BA是授予各个学科的学生的学位。其中一些学科是history,geography, English, other languages, economics,philosophy,sociology,等等。
What is MA?
On the other hand, MA is a post-graduate degree or a graduate course. All graduates are eligible to study for MA degree course. MA degree course is offered in various subjects of arts. It is a course that has to be studied for a period of two years and for three years in some cases.
When it comes to the subjects, the students of MA study the major subject only. As MA is more in-depth analysis of a single subject and this requires you to have BA degree first, the number of students who follow MA course is less.
