No and no. Like GLOBALTRAVELER said, it’s the content of your degree that matters and not the name. Some colleges award BA degrees only and that’s fine. Some colleges give science majors a choice between a BA and a BS; in that case it is sometimes true that the minimum requirements for a BA are less rigorous than the minimum requirements for the BS. For example, the BA track might be aimed at science education students who would rather take a wider array of lower-level electives (stuff they can teach to high school students) than advanced upper-level coursework (which would prepare them for graduate school). </p>
<p>That’s where the stereotypes come from, anyway. Not that any of this matters to you. As long as your own degree is solid, it does not matter if it’s a BA or a BS.</p>
