What is the difference between a BA and a BS in computer science?

I'd just like to know what the major differences are in a BA and a BS degree in computer science are... What jobs can I get with a BA or BS that I can't get with one or the other... and so forth, I want to be a Network Planning Analyst but do not know which degree to attain. Any and all information is accepted, I need as much as I can get.

The BS is much more valuable for your future. It requires more science and math courses but many many more engineering jobs require the BS which is what really counts, you need every edge you can get in this job market. You should get on www.monster.com and do a search for computer science and get an idea for what employers are looking for, that's where I and all the other engineers I know get our jobs. I graduated with a BS in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Tech by the way.
Reply:BA and BS are simply designations for universities. Employers mostly want to see that you have a degree, relevant coursework, certifications and on-job experience - the specific wording on your diploma is largely immaterial.
Reply:BS usually has a few more math/science classes required.


BS is generally considered better for employment.
Reply:Any science-based degree will award a BSc - BA is Batchelor of Art and is award for non-science based degrees (eg English, art, history etc)
Reply:In my school, a B.S. has more science courses and more demanding math requirements, but most of the computer courses are the same.
Reply:There is no difference at all. Some universities choose to call it a BA, some a BS, and some even have both, but there is no way to tell from the name of the degree just how technically oriented or liberal-arts oriented the program was. Employers will not care at all which one you have.
Reply:I think BA is 2 years Degree and BS is 4 years. BA is not a professional Degree while BS is a professional Degree


Do BS then Do CCNA or MCSE or any higher professional course
