<p>is there any real difference?</p>
<p>lets talk about it</p>
<p>it's all in the context of the school. For example a BS in economics from princeton is the same as a business degree.</p>
<p>One is a bachelors of business Administration and the other is a bachelors of science, but both are business degree. Some schools let you pick which one you would like, just different curriculum.</p>
<p>there's no real difference.</p>
<p>BS in business or BBA, same thing.. different name.</p>
<p>It's just a different degree name that ultimately leads to the same education.</p>
<p>For what it's worth, a BS is supposed to have more liberal arts requirements than that found in a BBA. Frankly, I haven't seen this to always be the case.</p>
<p>I also noticed that some BBAs (like some MBAs) don't require a major/concentration but rather allows to set up your own curriculum. A BS requires a major in something.</p>
<p>At my school, everyone gets a general BBA, not a BBA in anything. Aside from the core, there is no major/concentration requirement. The elective courses are up to the individual. You can take one of each department, take 2 finance and 3 marketing electives, take 4 finance and nothing else, whatever you want. I would guess that a BS wouldn't really have this kind of structure. That being said, I know Texas has a BBA program that allows students to concentrate in something, so you get a BBA in something. Maybe there really is no definitive difference.</p>
<p>I originally went to school that offered both a BBA and BS in Management Information Systems. The BBA required more business classes and the BS required more technical classes and was kind of like a combination between CS and MIS.</p>
