<p>Ok, so the deal is that I seem to have two options. One would be to take a BS in Computer Science from Iowa State University. The other would be to take a BA in Computer Science from the University of Minnesota. Obviously, a BS is a stronger degree, but the University of Minnesota is a better school. So my question is this: which degree would help me after college is done getting a job. </p>

<p>So, basically, would an employer rather hire a BS in cs from ISU, or a BA in cs from UMN</p>

<p>The BA versus BS has been discussed in other threads. The short summary is that the arts versus science designation doesn’t matter. What matters is the CS courses offered by the two colleges.</p>
