Is a BA a good degree?

The broad subject matter you may be exposed to in a BA program can provide a good foundation for many career paths. Having a Bachelor of Arts degree can open opportunities that high school education alone generally cannot.

How long does it take to get a BA?

A traditional BA can be earned in just 3 years and is offered at most universities, while a Bachelor of Arts With Honors (BA hons.) requires a minimum of four years of study (often more) and is typically available only at large research colleges and universities.

What is the difference between a BA and a BS degree?

In most cases, your choice of major (the primary subject focus of your degree) will determine whether you earn a BA or a BS. Generally speaking, BS degrees typically have more coursework in science, math, and technology, while BA degrees tend to focus more heavily on the arts, humanities, and social sciences.
