A '''Bachelor of Arts''' degree is one of the more common undergraduate degrees awarded to a [[student]] who completes a four-year course of study in the [[liberal arts]] or [[social science|social sciences]].
Some typical courses of study include,
#[[Business]]
#[[Economics]]
#Foreign Language ([[French]], [[German]], [[Spanish]], etc.)
#[[History]]
#[[Linguistics]]
#[[Music]] (although this course of study often concludes in a Bachelor of Music, in Performance)
#[[Political Science]]
#[[Sociology]]
Often, receiving a Bachelor of Arts constitutes the receipt of an "ultimate degree" - that is, the last degree received before entering the workforce. However, since the job market has become more competitive, and the American populace more and more educated on a whole, more American students seek professional degrees or masters degrees to ensure that they remain competitive in the workforce.
