Capitalization of fields of study
editProper names of degrees (Doctor of Philosophy, Master of Arts, etc.) are capitalized, but fields of study are not. ("He had a Master of Arts in basket weaving.") The term "creative writing" is not capitalized in dictionaries; it is simply not a proper name. You may see an academic field capitalized in a university's syllabus, but this is an encyclopedia; unlike universities, we don't capitalize nearly every noun, because we're not into self-aggrandizement. We don't capitalize jobs like "instructor" and "lecturer", but that's too much of a temptation for many university employees. Chris the speller yack 00:50, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
