<p>I am asking this for a friend(I am working a BSCS).</p>

<p>She want to get a Electrical Engineering degree.</p>

<p>Right now she can go to the University of Kentucky and get a Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering.</p>

<p>or she can go to Vanderbilt and get a Bachelors of Engineering in Electrical Engineering.</p>

<p>Is getting a Bachelors of Engineering better then a Bachelors of Science? I have not seen many school that have a Bachelors of Engineering. But I know that Vanderbilt is a great college.</p>

<p>There is no consistency, and therefore no assumptions regarding the degree. Some schools may differentiate between the two, but only they will really know or care about the distinction.</p>

<p>The only time there is an issue is when the same school offers both degrees. When that’s the case, you need to look into the difference between the two degree.</p>

<p>When a school only offers one, there’s no difference.</p>
