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.
