Hello all.

I just completed a Master of Arts from a state university. I don't
really want to say which one, but it is the central university of a US
state. Thing is, I thought it was going to be "in Economics."
Certainly, the majority of the courses were Economics, and I took a
comprehensive exam in Economics, and I could teach undergraduate
Economics.

But the transcripts and other documents just say "Master of Arts." I
asked the school and they said "thats how we do it." Is this normal?
Can I reasonably claim to have a Master of Arts in Economics? I
learned a lot from this program, but I need the credential.

Thanks,

Craig

Is this a serious question?

Your degree is a "Master of Arts"; your major was, presumably,
"Economics". Universities in the US rarely list your major on your
actual degree. This holds for undergraduate as well as graduate
degrees.
