Depending on the college or university, you will find it as a BA or BS. They are equivalent with a slightly different approach as indicated 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.

I know, somewhat confusing. Some institutions will indicated as a BSW, another one BSSW (such as Saint Louis University) etc. It just depends on the schools preferred approach. It's just most commonly referred to as a BSW.
