degree abbreviations

And MSS also stands for Master of Social Sciences.

 

Wouldn't that be "Abe Rardi, BA, MS, MS"?

 

And MLS can also stand for Master of Liberal Studies.

 

And DM also stands for Doctor of Management.

 

Speaking of degree abbreviations, does anyone know how to abbreviate Associate of Divinity? Bachelor of Divinity is abbreviated BD. Master of Divinity is abbreviated MDiv. And Doctor of Divinity is abbreviated DD.

 

Master's postnomials

Oh, I love "LL.M." It's the sole remaining "traditional" common law degree designation. I loath and despise the stupid, stupid "professional doctorate" J.D.

LL.B. was much better; the complaint was that folks thought it was "just another bachelor's degree" but I'd much rather be under-valued out of professional modesty than accused of being a doctoral poseur.

If you have to brag about being classy, you aren't.

 

I'm guessing here, Ted - because I've never seen such a degree. An AA in religious studies would be more what I'd expect to see.

I don't spend much time reading up on religious degrees, though, so I'll not dispute that such a degree exists. I think it would be abbreviated AD. The only reason I can see for the M.Div. being semi-spelled out is to distinguish it from M.D. - Doctor of Medicine.

URL: Doctor of Liberal Studies | Doctor of Liberal Studies | Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies

One my instructors graduated from there; and he is the CIO of Georgetown University Law School. And yes, he got entire program for FREE.

 

University of Pécs in Germany might have Doctor of Liberal Arts for distance learning...

 

Is the instruction in English or German?

 

Stupid Question?

Is there someone on this board who holds the Associate of Ministry degree and/or the Bachelor of Ministry degree?
