What is the difference between a BS degree in chemistry and a BA degree in chemistry?
You will find that most people will assume that a BS is always the stronger, more complete degree when it comes to chemistry content. This is definitely not the case. My university had several chemistry degrees offered that ranged the space of A & B above. If you are considering a career in chemistry or pursuing a MS/PhD in chemistry, I would recommend a degree certified by ACS. If you are in a different situation (pre-med, chem as a 2nd degree, etc) then you may like other alternatives. I would also recommend talking to an advisor at the institution and closely evaluating the specific courses involved in the BA vs BS. Good luck.
