General Studies BS or BA?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia School of General Studies

<p>I know GS awards, like the College, both BA and BS degrees. How does one know whether the degree they seek is a BA or BS?</p>

<p>I've read online for example, Mike Gravel, a GS alumni, earned a BS in economics. Thus, do econ majors receive BS degrees? How can one find out?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Call and ask?</p>

<p>Relax. Generally you’ll get a BA, except for certain majors. I believe most can be done either, and it’s pretty irrelevant. I also seem to recall reading that all CC students receive a BA, regardless of major. When you meet with your academic adviser, bring it up with them.</p>

<p>There are a lot of majors that you can’t do as a BS.</p>

<p>Philly, are you sure the the econ major was awarded as BS? Because from what I know, Columbia only awards B.A. econ degrees</p>
