B.A. / B.S. Difference

Submitted by jtrein on Mon, 2010-07-12 10:09

Academic Department:

Foreign Languages

Question:

What is the difference between a B.A. and a B.S. degree?

In general, B.A. majors are made up of fewer credit hours (24-36) than B.S. (70-80 credit hours) majors. Consequently, B. A. majors are complemented by a minor or a second major. It is not uncommon for B.A. students to have several majors and/or minors. A foreign language could be one of them.
