Is the B.S. or B.A. better for graduate school and future employment?

Graduate School
1

<p>I plan to get my undergraduate degree in computer science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) or North Carolina State University (NCSU). After attaining my degree, it is important to me that I get into the most prestigious graduate program in computer science that I can.</p>

<p>If I attend UNC for my undergraduate degree, I have the choice to pursue a B.A. or a B.S. In the eyes of future employers and graduate program admissions officers, does it matter at all which degree I attain? If so, to what extent?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Doesn’t matter.</p>

<p>Just make sure you complement whichever degree with a ton of quality research experience.</p>

<p>A BS is more highly regarded by some individuals.</p>
