<p>My future school offers both, what are the positives and negatives with these two?</p>
<p>The BS is a business degree. The downside is fewer elective spots and less theoretical economics. The benefit is practical knowledge and a more employable degree.</p>
<p>The BA is more liberal. Often the students getting BA’s take heavy math electives and prepare for the graduate school. The BA degree is less attractive to employers in general, but in general, the employment opportunities for the BA are similar to those of the BS degree. The pros of the BA degree are more freedom in class selection and it is more of a “pure” economics degree.</p>
