<p>I hope the difference is not notable.</p>
<p>I'm transferring to a private lib arts school, which offers a B.A. in Business, instead of the B.S. from the state school I am leaving.</p>
<p>Tell me how critically this decision could impact my career prospects in the future.</p>
<p>There isn’t much difference between the degrees. In most instances the BA has a few less technical business classes and more general education classes. </p>
<p>If your new LAC is well regarded it shouldn’t matter. The only situation I can think of where you might need to be careful is if you are going for a CPA. Some states (IL for sure) require a minimum number of non accounting business hours to qualify to sit for the exam.</p>
