Neither one is better or higher, it's just they are slightly different in approach to a specific program of study. Basically they are equivalent degrees. Read the below for a brief overview of the difference between the two.

The Bachelor's 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 (BSc) 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.
