Proper nouns and formal names of departments and individuals are capitalized. In text, academic degrees when used in a general sense are not capitalized. (That campus offers bachelor’s and master’s degrees.) You can also use “bachelor’s” and “master’s” on its own, but do not capitalize.

Is it master’s or masters degree?

The correct way to spell master’s degree is with the apostrophe. The s in master’s indicates a possessive (the degree of a master), not a plural. If you’re speaking of a specific degree, you should capitalize master and avoid creating a possessive: Master of Science. The same rules apply to a bachelor’s degree.

Is master’s degree capitalized AP style?

Do capitalize abbreviations of a degree. The Associated Press Stylebook (AP) recommends capitalizing the full names of degrees (“Bachelor of Arts,” “Master of Political Science”) whether or not they are next to a name. AP agrees with Chicago that you should lowercase “bachelor’s degree,” “master’s,” etc.
