There are two kinds of bachelor's degrees: Bachelor of Arts
(B.A.) and Bachelor of Science (B.S.). These are degrees that
students receive upon successful completion of four or five years of
full-time college or university studies. These are also known as
undergraduate degrees.
The B.A. degree is also known as a liberal arts degree. This
degree generally requires courses in humanities, math, English,
sciences, social sciences, and languages.
The B.S. degree generally does not require as many liberal arts
or humanities courses. It may prepare people for careers in
accounting, engineering, and education. Like the B.A., it requires
general courses in math, English, sciences, and social sciences.
