<p>hi, i'm an international student and i'm wondering: </p>
<p>1.is there a difference between the microbiology program offered in college of letters and
sciences with the same one offered in college of agricultural and life sciences? </p>
<p>2.which one has the highest job opportunity?</p>
<p>The one in College of Letters and Sciences will probably offer a BA. The other one will probably offer a BS. The difference is that the BS degree would go more in depth in microbiology while the BA gives you a more well rounded education.</p>
<p>Job opportunity would be about the same, most employers won’t care. Just pick the one that has the curriculum that you prefer.</p>
<p>thanks for the answer
does this mean i can’t take subjects from different departments?</p>
<p>example: i enrolled in college of agricultural and sciences but at the same time, i want to take art history offered in college of letters and science. </p>
<p>can this be done?</p>
<p>I think you can but it might depend on the college.</p>
<p>You need to read through the degree requirements for both degree programs. The requirements for the major may be precisely the same, but requirements for the two different university divisions may be distinct - for example the BA in Arts & Sciences may require a year of History and two years of Foreign Language that aren’t required for the BS in Ag & Life Sciences.</p>
<p>It is very unusual for students to take classes in only one division of a university. Most students at big universities find that they need to take some coursework in different divisions of that university. If you want to take an elective like Art History in Arts & Sciences, you probably can. what might be a bit more challenging, would be to do a double-major across the divisions. At some universities that is possible, at others it isn’t. It is OK to email the university and ask.</p>
<p>As to which degree is most likely to get you a job, that is something you need to ask employers in your home country. It is very nearly impossible for international students to find permanent work in the US after finishing just a BA or BS.</p>
