B.A. vs B.S. in Biology?

<p>The school that i'm looking at has a program for both a BA and a BS but I really don't understand what the true difference is. What are the career options for both? Honestly, online it seems that there really isn't any difference as far a career goes. Also, if I were to go for a masters, would it have to be a MS if I originally did a BS or can it be different?</p>

<p>Generally speaking a BS in a science is a more rigorous curriculum than a BA, but I’ve never known any grad school or employer to care. My master’s degree in marine science is an MA and not an MS because that’s all the state university offered, even though 100% of my research and coursework was in sciences.</p>

<p>You need to look at the degree requirements for each degree program at your school to figure out what the difference is.</p>

<p>Not very good for biology major bachelor’s degree graduates who do not go on to graduate or professional school. Even at the PhD level, the job market is quite competitive.</p>

<p>thanks guys. I guess when it really comes down to it, it really doesn’t matter in the long run. I suppose it just depends on what is right for me when I get to college.</p>
