Bachelor of Arts

Course Description

A Bachelor of Arts (BA) is an undergraduate degree that is typically awarded after completion of a four-year program of study at a college or university. The BA degree is often pursued by students who are interested in the humanities, social sciences, or liberal arts.

The requirements for a BA degree vary depending on the institution and the specific program of study, but generally include a combination of core courses and electives. Core courses may cover topics such as writing, critical thinking, and communication skills, while electives allow students to explore their areas of interest in more depth.

Common majors for BA programs include English, history, psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science, and fine arts. Graduates of a BA program may go on to pursue careers in a wide range of fields, including education, journalism, marketing, public service, social work, and the arts. Some students may also choose to pursue further education, such as a master's or doctoral degree.
