Usage notes

[edit]

A person who is engaged in a course of study leading to the earning of a degree can be described (in the present progressive tense) as "doing a degree" in British English, and as "getting a degree" in American English. For example, in American English,"She is currentlygetting her master's degree at State University." In British English,"I am still confused about when to use 'an' instead of 'a'. Is it an hour or a hour, and if someone isdoing a master's degree in arts, is it an MA or a MA?" (Ask Oxford.Com - Ask the Experts - Frequently Asked Questions (Grammar)).
