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.

I want to be a scientist.Then which one would be more helpful BS in physics or chemistry or BS in engineering courses?

"Scientist" usually means research scientist. If that is what you want to be, there is no reason to study engineering. You will need to go on to graduate school after you get your BS. The first two years are about the same for all three BS degrees, but after that, there is a big difference between physics and chemistry programs, so you will have to make a choice. Not everybody is cut out to be a researcher-- it is far easier to get a job with a BS in engineering than in physics. BS chemists can get jobs in laboratories, but they mostly run the same tests over and over .
