The Bachelor of Arts degree (BA) has a broader scope, with a strong emphasis on the humanities, theoretical and general knowledge in a recognized discipline, interdisciplinary field, or of a professional study.
The Bachelor of Science degree (BS) is more of a focused approach with a science base to include a balance of liberal arts, technological knowledge, math and computer oriented skills, and practical skills needed for a particular discipline within the field.

What is the difference between BA in geology and a BS in geology?
The quick answer is: it depends. The BA vs BS in chemistry will depend greatly on the specific institution and the types of programs that are offered. There is typically an element of additional non-science courses involved for a BA but the meaning/impact of this can vary greatly. Here are a couple scenarios: A) At college X, the curriculum for a BS may be certified by a professional society (such as American Chemical Society, "ACS") and involves a heavy load of "hard-core" chemistry courses. This degree is best-suited for preparation of graduate school (in chemistry or related field) or a career (in industry/etc) as a chemist upon receiving a BS. This is contrast to the BA option, which may have fewer hard-core chem courses yet may be augmented by courses in the arts or other sciences (biology). One example would be a BA chem degree intended for pre-med students. B) At college Y, the ACS (hard-core) degree may come in two flavors: BS & BA. In this scenario, the BA & BS each have the exact number of science/math/chem courses yet the BA is awarded when additional requirements in foreign language courses are taken. So in this scenario, the BA is a more comprehensive degree. You will find that most people will assume that a BS is always the stronger, more complete degree when it comes to chemistry content. This is definitely not the case. My university had several chemistry degrees offered that ranged the space of A & B above. If you are considering a career in chemistry or pursuing a MS/PhD in chemistry, I would recommend a degree certified by ACS. If you are in a different situation (pre-med, chem as a 2nd degree, etc) then you may like other alternatives. I would also recommend talking to an advisor at the institution and closely evaluating the specific courses involved in the BA vs BS. Good luck.
Difference between BS and BE?
A BA stands for a bachelors of arts degree. A BS stands for bachelors in science degree. Read below for more detailed information on the difference. Whether a degree falls under an arts or science depends on the institution and the department of a specific program of study within the school and the focus they prefer. The BA has a broader scope, with a strong emphasis on the humanities, theoretical and general knowledge in a recognized discipline, interdisciplinary field, or of a professional study. The BS is more of a focused approach with a science base to include a balance of liberal arts, technological knowledge, math and computer oriented skills, and practical skills needed for a particular discipline within the field.

What are chances of success with high school degree vs BS?
It depends on your specific career goals and objectives. If your intended career requires a bachelor's degree and you only have a high school diploma, then your chances for success are nil. You should acquire a vision for yourself, which is a clearly articulate picture of the future you intend to create for yourself. It should be based on a passion for what you want to do. Once you have acquire the vision (which must be specific), your path will become clear.
