Ben, do you know the difference between an MA and MS degree? Is it consistent from one program to another?

I do know (at least where I went to school) that the difference between a BA and BS is that the BA requires a certain amount of credit in languages (I think it was 12 credits). Is that consistent with other schools too?

More acronyms:

LPC - Licenced Professional Counselor
LCSW - Licened Clinical Social Worker
LMFT - Licenced Marriage and Family Therapist
MHCC - Mental Health Certified Counselor (I'm not positive about the order here, and I think it varies from state to state - most states include this under LPC, although the mental health counseling programs require 60 hours while counseling can be just 48).

BSW - Bachelor of Social Work
DSW - Doctor of Social Work (mostly teachers/professors)
SSW - Social Service Worker (usually bachelor's level)
