<p>Is this degree abnormal? Does company or graduate school accept this?</p>
<p>What's the difference between Bach. of Arts major in Physics and Bach. of Scinece major in Physics? Which has more value?</p>
<p>There's no difference. Liberal Arts schools just call the degree "BA". It was amusing writing BA instead of BS on my grad school apps, but seven of the ten schools I applied to happily accepted my "BA in Astrophysics, anticipated May 2008" from Wellesley, so you'll be fine.</p>
<p>I'm a little bummed though, I wish I could have the BS, MS, PhD combo, but hey, the school I'm doing the master's/PhD from gives SMs anyway.</p>
<p>tiaotiaotu,</p>
<p>It is not abnormal. While there are distinctions between a BA and BSc degree at schools that offer both, Wellesley only offers the BA degree, similar to the other top liberal arts colleges. I think few, if any, alumni have found that having a BA degree, and not a BSc, in a scientific/mathematical subject has been a problem. Yes, you can be a very successful person and go to grad school/get a job with a BA degree in Physics.</p>
<p>As a point of contrast, all students from MIT graduate with a BSc degree, even those that major in the humanities such as Literature and History.</p>
<p>I found this profile of a Wellesley alum who majored in physics, went to med school and now is pursuing a PhD in neuroscience (whew!). Interesting comments about what she learned and "uses" from her physics courses. </p>

<p>there are other profiles of alums who majored in a variety of subjects.</p>
