Hey Aspirant,

Hope you are doing great,

MA in Fine Arts is a generalized degree with a focus on any number of subject areas such as Drama, Dance, Music, Visual Art, and other disciplines that a university may classify as "Fine Art." An MA is an excellent degree for anyone interested in working as an arts administrator, curator, gallery director, or other cultural worker.

As others have pointed out, an MFA is a specialized degree that prepares students to become actors, dancers, musicians, or artists. Finally, until recently, an MFA was considered a terminal degree, whereas an MA is the foundation for further study at the doctorate level leading to a Ph.D.
