Pablo XXXXX, B.A. and María XXXXX, B.Sc. Son las más acertadas, y las elijo, muchas gracias por su insuperable colaboración!!!!!
Diana Kozenitzky Andrés (asker) Aug 25, 2010:
They are only personal cards, so it must show short and not with too much detail, I think you are right with your choice.
Bubo Coroman (X) Aug 25, 2010:
This may be a B.A. or a B.Sc. Google results for:

"B.A. in Political Science" - 6.740.000 results

"B.Sc. in Political Science" - 16.100 results

- to find out which one it is in this gentleman's case, you could Google the following:

"Pablo [Surname(s)], B.A."

"Pablo [Surname(s)], B.Sc."

This is the same as I suggested in the case of your question about the lady with the Master's Degree...
Josh Goldsmith Aug 24, 2010:
Again, I think it has to do with context. When my only degree was a B.A., I still pointed it out from time to time (whenever it could be useful for, e.g., getting a job!). However, I agree that it wouldn't generally be suffixed after your name like an M.D. or PhD might be.
Travelin Ann Aug 24, 2010:
In the US if it is only a B.A., it would be unlikely to be used, unless part of a CV/resume
Josh Goldsmith Aug 24, 2010:
I agree with Lorena. If you want to draw attention to the degree, it would be more common to put B.A. in XX or B.A., XX University on the line after your name (if this were to be, e.g., a line in a resume or as part of your signature tag at the bottom of an email.)

In general If you only have a bachelor, you would not put any initials after your name, as Joshua says, context would help

Pablo XXXXX, B.A.

Can we have some more context? I would probably omit the Mr. in most cases, but would like some context to be sure.

Some options:

Pablo XXX
B.A., YYY University

Pablo XXX
B.A. in Political Science, YYY University

Pablo XXX
B.A., Political Science, YYY University

Pablo XXX
B.A. (Political Science), YYY University (I don't like the look of this option as much...)

Here is an example in a resume. Note that the B.A. in Political Science part comes on the line after the name of the university.

This is not the only way to do this in a resume, but again, we need some context for me to do a good job with this.
