This degree usually requires students to complete a combination of general education courses and major-specific classes, allowing for a broad exploration of various subjects. Common majors include English, History, and Psychology. The BA program generally takes three to four years to complete, depending on the institution and country. Graduates often pursue careers in areas such as education, journalism, and public relations, or continue their studies in graduate programs for further specialization.
