Think about writing a job description for a Scrum Master. You decide that
candidates must have a Bachelor's Degree in order to qualify. What courses
of study, what degrees would be most beneficial to the work of a Scrum
Master? I don't think computer science or mathematics or various
engineering degrees are the answer.

I have known many excellent Scrum Masters who have come from project
management backgrounds. A few have come from marketing or business
backgrounds. Many have come from technical fields, too.
