How would you simply say "I have my BA?"
In English I would say "I received my BA in 1995" when referring to a specific point in time but in general conversation with someone I would simply say "I have my BA" to indicate that I had that degree so how would I make the distinction in French or do you simply not have that meaning in French?
This question relates to:French lesson "Differences between French and English usages - Passer un exam vs To pass an exam"

Bonsoir Kari,
Here is the lesson example that addresses your question:
Youpi! J'ai eu ma licence! ---> Yippee! I got my B.A.!
It is in the following lesson:
Avoir un exam = To pass an exam (French Expressions with avoir)
