<p>Hello all! Recently, I was accepted to the University of Minnesota College of Liberal Arts. My first choice was College of Science and Engineering, but I am sure that i will still attend the UMN regardless. I have a large interest in comp. science and was relived to find that the UMN offers a B.A. in comp. science in the college of liberal arts. However, I have found that most employers want a B.S. which makes me reluctant to pursue it. On the other hand, a Bachelors in arts allows for much more breadth in different disciplines and not strictly CS. But the feeling of not getting a job because of having a bachelors of arts instead of bachelors of science makes me shiver. My question to all of you is should I go for the BS or the BA?</p>
<p>I’m here to say this sounds as if it’s in the wrong forum. I think you’ll be able to find people who know a bit more about what exactly employers want in a different forum. We are just high school kids after all, most of us with no work experience.</p>
