A bachelor's in science (BS) is a general degree type from which many specific programs of study (majors) fall. For example, a BS in engineering, nursing, Biology, etc. Read the following for the difference between The Bachelor in arts (BA), and the bachelor in science (BS) degree.

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.
