A Bachelor of Arts or BA is a college degree. It takes three years to get it in Australia, Austria, Denmark, Estonia, England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Germany, Iceland, India, Israel, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Quebec, Pakistan, Singapore, South Africa, and Switzerland. It takes four years in Canada, Republic of Ireland, Scotland, Japan, United States, Republic of Korea, Republic of China (Taiwan), and the Philippines. Bachelor of Arts is often written as "BA" or "B.A." The Latin term is artium baccalaureus so some colleges use the abbreviation of "AB" or "A.B."[1]
The word "arts" means the liberal arts. Compared to Bachelor of Science degrees, Bachelor of Arts often require more courses outside the main field of study. A Bachelor of Arts can be awarded in the sciences, social sciences, or humanities.
