What is the difference between a MS degree in Biology and an MA degree in Biology?

A Master's of Arts degree is a humanities based degree. It is designed to provide a balanced liberal arts education and general knowledge in a recognized discipline, interdisciplinary field, or areas of professional study.

A Master's of Science degree is science based. It is designed to provide a balanced liberal arts education and a scientific, technical, or professional entry level competence.

Still, whether an arts or science degree, the institution and department offering the degree decide on which it will be.
