[Editors] To "s" or not to "s"

[Laura Koller]

This one's probably been sent around before, but it's new to me:

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.

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?

Thanks in advance for the witty chatter that will ensue,
Laura
