Spanish term

Titulo de Maestro en Bellas Artes

Spanish to English Social Sciences Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
Este concepto, en un diploma, es difícil de traducir al inglés, ya que en este caso "maestro" no puede ser "Master" ya que este último equivaldría a un "Master of Science - MS" que no es lo aplicable. Alguien tiene alguna sugerencia?

Lidia D Jan 17, 2009:
I agree with Jessica's suggestion Fine Arts Teacher
Muriel Vasconcellos Jan 16, 2009:
Master's is not limited to the sciences In the United States, the Master's degree corresponds to approximately two years of advanced study beyond the Bacelor's degree, and it can be in any field.
Jessica Noyes Jan 16, 2009:
Fine arts teacher (in the schools)? I added this to my suggestion below, but this seems like an option. This would be a teaching diploma, undergraduate.
Charlotte Fairweather Jan 16, 2009:
Al que nivel de estudios se refiere?
No se refiere al "Master of Arts" que existe en escocia como licenciatura en escocia y en otros partes del mundo como postgraduado, ni al "Master of Fine Arts" de los estados unidos?
Yo, al menos, necesitaria mas contexto sobre el instituto que lo ofrece para ayudarle, perdon si me pierdo pie en respondir.
Charlotte Fairweather Jan 16, 2009:
MA Fine Arts Sorry. I wasn't so clear. There are Master of Arts undergraduate degree in Scotland that last 4 years. eg. Fine Art MA (Hons), University of Edinburgh.

Alfonso Crane (asker) Jan 16, 2009:
clarification This is not a graduate degree, but an undergraduate degree, so that possibly the MFA does not apply here.
eesegura Jan 16, 2009:
Master of Fine Arts - además del M.S.? ¿Puede ser que esta persona tiene dos títulos académicos?

Bachelor of Fine Arts/Bachelor of (Art) Education (in Fine Arts)

Since the asker has made it clear the term in question refers to an undergraduate degree, I'd imagine one of these would work just fine. :-)

3 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "This was a difficult term to translate. I had to sit down with my client and ponder with her over the very many possible options. Shee finally decided that "MA in Fine Arts" more closely reflected the specific case. Many thanks for your input."

I change my mind, and suggest "Fine Arts Teacher". This would be a specialist in teaching art in the schools.
Note from asker:
I forgot to mention something important: this is an undergraduate degree, not a graduate degree, so that it possibly does not correspond to the MFA

Professor [Teacher] of Fine Arts

I get the sense that it is at a more "senior" level.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professor
Professor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The meaning of the word professor (Latin: professor, person who professes to be an expert in some art or science, teacher of highest rank[1]) varies. In some English-speaking countries, it refers to a senior academic who holds a departmental chair, especially as head of the department, or a personal chair awarded specifically to that individual. For example, in the United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand it is a legal title conferred by a university denoting the highest academic rank, whereas in the United States, Canada and Hong Kong, the term professor is used as a form of address for any lecturer or researcher employed by a college or university, regardless of rank. In some countries, e.g. Austria, Brazil, France, Kosovo, Romania, Slovenia, Serbia, Poland and Italy, the term is an honorific applied also to secondary level teachers.

Fine Art MA (Hons)

A 4 year undegraduate degree offered in Scotland.

Obviously, this can be dismissed immediately if it does not refer to a degree in Scotland...

(Sorry for flooding this, I am still relatively new here)

In fact, the undergraduate MA is available outside of Scotland too

MFA

In the United States, a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) is a graduate degree typically requiring two to three years of study beyond the bachelor's degree level and usually awarded in visual arts, creative writing, filmmaking, or theater/performing arts. Coursework is primarily of an applied or performing nature with the program often culminating in a major work or performance. (Wikipedia)
