<div>Laura,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If this helps, the AP style guide says:</div>
<blockquote><br></blockquote>
<blockquote>master of arts, master of science - A<i> master's
degree</i> or a<i> master's</i> is acceptable in any
reference</blockquote>
<div><br></div>
<div>I'd say you're right.</div>

Our project's early literature (which predates my arrival on the
scene) calls our S.M. degree a "Masters of Science" degree,
as in, ""New Masters of Science Program". I keep
wanting to drop the "s" and call it a "Master of
Science" degree program.<br>
<br>
Is one correct, or is a matter of preference or context? Do you know
the answer, and if not, what's a good resource for this type of
question?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for the witty chatter that will ensue,<br>
