b.a. degree
grado universitario de cuatro años


Explanation:
Depends on the country! In many, licenciatura is exactly right, but in others (including Puerto Rico) it is bachillerato. Unless you know the target reader's country, you might want to go generic. My solution might not be elegant, but it won't be misunderstood.

Humanidades y Arte están muy unidas; Humanidades y Arte con Filosofía y Letras están relacionadas pero no son lo mismo, a mi saber.
