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.
The A in B.A. or M.A. stands for arts and means that the person who received the degree focused on a liberal arts curriculum as a part of their degree program as opposed to a purely science-focused curriculum (which would earn a Bachelor of Science or Master of Science degree).
