Abbreviations of University Degrees

Have you ever looked at the alphabet soup on someone's business card and wondered what it all meant? Here are some answers. Below I've listed all the degree acronyms and abbreviations of which I'm aware. I've organized them alphabetically; an asterisk marks degrees that are usually honorary (such degrees are often followed by the words honoris causa). Links from the abbreviations generally lead to information about that degree. For simplicity, I exclude abbreviations that contain parentheticals (so MS(Audiol), the Master of Science in Audiology degree, is just MS). Also, this list does not contain professional abbreviations (such as RD for registered dietician) mainly because I couldn't possibly list them all. Feel free to /msg me with additions or corrections.
