mm... we had this debate in our department. A lot of our students think BS is more prestigious than a BA.... but most of the top econ schools offer BAs, like Harvard and U Chicago!
Sorry, but I actually think people who think BA/BS makes any difference are just unaware hahaha. What matters much more is your major and institution, not what type of degree.

I mean at least at Texas A&M the course work was pretty significantly different. You had to take several more science courses and less humanities/arts courses.

ah, I can see if it's two degree programs within the same department, then they'd definitely make the BS more scientific.
I'm more referring to in our college, where we offer a BA in Economics, and the marketing department offers a BSBA (Bachelors of Science in Business Administration) in Marketing, and our students think the BSBA is more prestigious (it's not.)

Ahhhhh yeah so at A&M I want to say all Liberal Arts degrees and also a ton of other degrees you have either the BA or BS route!
For PSYC the BS route was for being looking to do research and get PhDs and the BA was tailored more towards getting a masters and becoming a psychologist
