It used to be standard practice to put a full stop after an abbreviation. It is standard practice in American English to include the full stop, but British English (used in the UK, Australia and New Zealand, for example) omit the fullstop after abbreviations of titles (e.g. Dr, Mrs), degrees (BA, DipT) and other similar occasions.
