ACM question: are BA and BS the same major?

Paying for College

<p>Can anyone shed light on whether a BS and BA are considered to be different "majors" for purposes of receiving instate tuition via Academic Common Market? In other words, a school in my state offers a BS in the field I plan to study and I hope to go to an OOS school that offers a BA in same major. The focus of the two programs is entirely different, to the point where they hardly resemble each other - so would this situation qualify for ACM instate tuition? Any comments or links to relevant information would be appreciated. </p>

<p>This is the Southeastern ACM (SERB), by the way.</p>

<p>As to the SERB, did you use the Search for Programs link and put in your state (then click Search for programs), then put in your intended state and college? If so, that will give you the list of majors that are acceptable. Even if you think the majors are different, if it doesn’t come up by doing the above, you won’t get the in-state price.</p>
