ArcMap may be configured not to show wizards. If this is the case, you can enable Grids and Graticules Wizard. Click Customize > ArcMap Options, click the General tab, then check the Wizard Mode option.

You can specify the graticule intervals in decimal degrees or degrees and decimal minutes instead of degrees/minutes/seconds (the default). Intervals are specified in degrees/minutes/seconds with the wizard, but you can change to the other options by opening the graticule's properties once you have finished the wizard.
