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.

∙ 16y agoA Bachelor's of Arts degree is a humanities based degree, broad in scope. It is designed to provide a balanced liberal arts education and general knowledge in a recognized discipline, interdisciplinary field, or areas of professional study.
A Bachelor of Science degree is science based and a more focused to the practical. It is designed to provide a balanced liberal arts education and a scientific, technical, or professional entry level competence.

Calculation of reduced level in rise and fall method?
you will get a value with (+) or (-) value from (BS-FS) equation.(+) values are put in rise column and (-) values are put in fall column.to calculate RL for each point, add the + value to know RL and subtract the (-) value to know RL.
In which sphere of the earth system do fossil fuels belong?
The crust or lithosphere. The temperatures of the mantle (> 1000 deg C) are too hot for fossil fuels. Generally, oil and gas deposts are found in the top part of the crust, less than 6 kilometers below sea level. The crust may extend down to 70 km.

The BA has a broader scope, with a strong emphasis on the humanities, theoretical and general knowledge of the discipline. 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.

It depends on the institution and Computer Science department within the school as to which focus they prefer. Typically, this program of study is a bachelors of science (BS) degree. However, the below describes - in brief - the difference between a bachelors of arts (BA), and a bachelors of Science (BS) degree. 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.
