Best Answer

It depends on the institution and business department within the school as to which focus they prefer.

The Master of Arts degree (MA) has a broader scope, with a strong emphasis on the humanities, theoretical and general knowledge in a recognized discipline, interdisciplinary field, or of a professional study.

The Master in Science degree (Msc) is more of a focused approach with a science base to include a balance of liberal arts, technological knowledge, math and computer oriented skills, and practical skills needed for a particular discipline within the field.

M.Sc. stands for Master of Science (a degree course after B.Sc., in field of Science) while

M.A. Sc. stands for Master of Applied Science which is a graduate degree for which practicing professionals may qualify, whereby acceptance criteria may be based partly on relevant practical experience and related accomplishments and less on previous undergraduate academic performance.
