2. Humanities

Below are listed the 101 degrees classified in table 10 in the general field of Humanities (except Architecture, Art, Fine Arts, Journalism, Music, Speech, and Theology, reported later) as currently conferred by recognized colleges and universities; the number of institutions reporting the use of each of these degrees; and their abbreviation or abbreviations, with the frequencies for each. Since some of the institutions did not indicate the abbreviations they use, the sum of the frequencies for abbreviations are often less than the total frequency given.

Listed also (in italics) are 111 degrees not reported as currently conferred and their abbreviations as far as known, but without frequencies of use (indicated by x) except in the case of "spurious" (Spur.) degrees. Included are nine "spurious" degrees (see chapter VI); also 28 honorary (Hon.) degrees (see chapter V), only 16 of which are in current use.

The list of degrees is subdivided into six groups as follows: General; Classical Languages and Literature; English; Languages, Letters, Literature; Modern Languages and Literature; and Philosophy. In each group the arrangement is in terms of associate, bachelor, master, doctor, and other degrees.
