What is degeneracy of 2p orbitals in a magnetic field?

Each of the three 2p orbitals has the same energy level (except when a magnetic field is applied). Hence they are degenerate orbitals, in the terminology of quantum mechanics. The difference between the orbitals is their orientation in space. The p orbitals are not spherical (s orbitals are spherical).
