-- Posted by Pisciculus at 7:07 pm on June 13, 2008 What is the difference between a B.A. and a B.S. as far as bachelor degrees go?  I mean, i have heard of people getting a B.A. in Psychology and a B.S. in Psychology, what would be the difference? -- Posted by Define Your Line at 7:08 pm on June 13, 2008 B.A. = Bachelor of Arts B.S. = Bachelor of Science There are two routes you can take when studying psychology.  You can either take the arts way or the science way. -- Posted by PotPom at 7:14 pm on June 13, 2008 two routes you can take studying alot of things and the diffrence is the type of course work and classes, a BA for biochem might have 2 chem classes in adition to the required classes for the school, but a BS for biochem has 4 chem classes which makes it more challenging.... it just depends on what you want to do wiht it.
