A master's degree is higher than a bachelor's degree but lower than a doctor's degree. There are a number of different master's degrees. Each one has a specific purpose and use. A Master's degree typically trains a person for a career through specialized study. One of the most common master's degree is the Master of Arts. The master of arts degree (M.A.) is usually awarded in the traditional arts, sciences, and humanities disciplines such as teaching, writing and history. Original research is a key component of any M.A. degree. An M.A. program usually requires the completion of between 30 and 60 credit hours and could reasonably be completed in one or two academic years of full-time study.
