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.
An MA is usually a terminal degree, while an MS degree prepares students for working on their doctoral degrees later. Many types of liberal arts studies culminate with an MA. Students studying historic preservation, fine arts and other topics cannot get a degree higher than an MA.
