It can be either depending on the school, department approach to a specific field, and the program of study itself. The Bachelor of arts (BA) and the bachelor of science (BS) are general degree types from which many specific programs of study fall. The differences are indicate below.

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.
