    Is it correct to call a female Master of Arts a Mistress of Arts?

    The Magister Artium, Magister in Artibus, or Master of Arts degree is an academic degree of medieval origin which has later acquired different characteristics in different educational systems. It may refer more specifically to:

    Master of Arts (postgraduate), a graduate degree in North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, India, and some European countries
    Master of Arts (Oxbridge and Dublin), a degree from the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, or the University of Dublin (Trinity College), conferred after an interval on holders of the Bachelor of Arts with Honours degree (and certain others) without further study
    Master of Arts (Scotland), an undergraduate degree from the ancient universities of Scotland and the University of Dundee .
    There is no mention on any site of a Mistress of Arts
