MA vs. MS
A Master of Arts program usually provides general knowledge in a specific program. Some institutions require MA students to have a concentration in order to obtain their degree. For example, if you want an MA in political science, you must have a concentration in economics, public policy or foreign affairs.
A Master of Science program is more specific. These programs have a heavy emphasis on a particular subject and are usually more hands-on. Getting a MS degree, depending on the school, may take longer than getting an MA degree because of the work you will need to do outside the classroom.
Anyway, among MEd, MA, or MS, put me down in the "doesn't matter" column.
