The question came up at the web writing salon today about whether or not to capitalize the term "master's degree." The answer from the University style manual
is as follows:
Capitalize abbreviations of degrees and use periods; do not capitalize spelled-out names of degrees.
B.A.
B.S.
M.A.
M.F.A.
Ph.D.
LL.D.
bachelor of arts degree
master’s degree
the doctorate
Great meeting! Thanks.
