Morphology
bachelor + of + arts + in + nursing
The phrase is compositional: 'bachelor' (an undergraduate degree) + 'of arts' (degree type) + 'in nursing' (field of study) yields the straightforward meaning of an undergraduate degree in nursing. The prepositions 'of' and 'in' simply link the constituents, and this construction is common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows the parts should be able to infer the overall meaning.
Etymology
Bachelor of Arts in Nursing comes from older uses of the words: Bachelor meant a young learner who had finished basic training, Arts meant school subjects, and Nursing meant caring for sick people. So the name shows someone has completed a 'first university degree' in both the study and the practical skills needed 'to be a nurse'.
