Hi, I need your help here...
I need to know if these acronyms are correct and what would be the spanish translation for them?

A.S. in Paralegal Studies = A.S: Associate in Science??
A.A. in Commercial Art = A.A: Academic Award --> Premio Académico en Arte Comercial ??
Barry University, B.P.S., 1988 = B.P.S: Bachelor of Professional Studies??

Now, one last thing... as regards M.S, is there any difference between Master of Science and Masters of Science??

thank you very very much for your help!!

I think you need to leave them in English, and provide a parenthetical explanation if you need to.

For example, associate degree are typically 2-years of university study

This site might help you figure out the duration and types of degrees involved:

There is no real "standard" tranmnslation... you will probably find many entries in the KudoZ glossaries, search for bachelor, master/masters, associate, etc.
