BA and MA are like you assumed, Bachelors of Art and Masters of Art. These are only the general area, however, not the major. Art refers to a degree that is non technical or science related. BS/MS (Bachelors/Masters in Science) would refer to a degree that IS technical or scientific related.
MA after someone's name means they have earned a Master's of Arts degree. An MA is probably the most common of master's degrees and, for many fields, it is the step before PhD work. It usually takes two years, if one is in school full-time ans sometimes involves a thesis.
