The difference between a BS and a BA depends somewhat on the university that you obtain them from. The traditional difference--a BA is in the humanities/arts/social sciences and the BS is in the sciences is not consistent.\n\nAt my university the BA is a liberal arts degree, it can be in any discipline, and it includes four semesters of foreign language. The BS is more like a professional degree and typically does not include a foreign language.\n\nThey are both bachelor's degrees.

A Master's Degree is one step above a Bachelor's Degree.  It is usually achieved by one additional year of study.  You might see people with an MBA, which is Masters of Business Administration.  However, an MD is not a Master Doctor, but is viewed in the Latin way, Doctor of Medicine.

Simply put, no... it will not be recognized to the same degree that a 'real' bachelor's degree will be.  Many positions that requires a BS/BA will not even consider you for employment, that doesn't mean that none will; just that most won't.  Online degree's overall are looked upon as lessor than a degree given at a physical institution. (a degree for life experience would be even more so)  This doesn't mean that the education is bad, but some online school's have... questionable practices when it comes to issuing diploma's and degree's... this carries over to all of the legitimate online schools and the effect is the same; online degrees are less valuable and often looked down upon when it comes to real life employment.  Especially when it comes to sciences, psychology included.

A BS is generally considered more sought after, but it depends on the profession.  Some professions don't consider the two different at all.  Some majors only offer a BA.  There are other majors, like most sciences, that offer options of both a BS or a BA.  Students earning a BS have to take more units than those earning a BA.

An undergraduate education is when you go to college and earn a Bachelor's degree.  (either a BA or a BS).  Take me for instance.  In three weeks I will graduate from college.  I will be getting a BA in History.  My undergraduate education is now finished.  \n\nJust so you know; a GRADUATE educations is when you study to receive graduate level degrees.  Such as a Master's Degree or a PhD.\n\nhope that helps.

for architecture, it won't actually affect you in the job world. all it says is that one is more techniccally based and one is more art based. UC berkeley is probably a bachelor of arts because it's more theory and book stuff. Cal Poly SLO, for instance (sorry if you aren't applying in California, but that's the area I know), would be more of a Bachelor of Science because it's more math and science. A BS is probably more likely to get you a job right out of school because you'll have more technical training. I, then, would go for the BS.

The best degree is the degree that is best for you. It's not so much what you get, but what you do with it. \n\nIf you have an ability or skill set that makes it easier for you to do one or the other, choose that one, you will succeed easier. If you have a passion or an attraction to one, choose that one, you will love your job, which makes you better at it. \n\nBoth are higher degrees, so they are not inherently better one than the other. \n\nGo with your heart. Try to delve into each to get a taste for it, then evaluate which you like best.

No.  An associates degree is a two year degree, effectively completing a freshman and sophomore year of a four year degree.  Regardless of how many AA degrees a person achieves, they have not progressed to the third, much less the fourth year of  the requirements for a BS or BA degree. If you want a BS or BA, you need a vision which includes financial planning (assistance has many forms now), balanced with your personal comittment to follow through.

It's EXTREMELY important to get a college degree if you want a decent job.  Today's job market is much more competitive than it has *ever* been.  Today, bachelor's degrees are the *standard* (whereas a generation ago, a high school diploma was) for a *decent* job.  For anything beyond a decent job (and by decent, I mean simply steady employment with enough pay to *just* get by), you'll need an advanced degree.

With a BA or BS in chemistry, you can get various jobs in the chemical industry.  Most of these jobs involve bench work.  With a MS in chemistry, you can get the same jobs paying more as well as jobs as the safety person in small college chemistry departments or teach at a community college.  With a PhD in chemistry, you can become a professor or work in the chemical industry.  You will be able to advance in your field and be promoted.  Degrees in physics are useful in similar jobs. There are also more non-traditional career paths.  If you don't like any of the options that I have listed, you should probably think about ways that science meets the public.  Water quality testing, perhaps.  Enviromental anything.

Very briefly.. an undergraduate at a university/college is an individual (student)who is at the Bachelor of Science (BS) or lower. After you have your B.S. degree, you go on in the University/College and you are aiming for your Master of Science (MS) or the Doctorate Degree.... BOTH the MS and Doctorate degrees are in the Graduate levels.

Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery, or in Latin Medicinæ Baccalaureus et Baccalaureus Chirurgiæ (abbreviated MB BChir, MB BCh, MB ChB, BM BS, MB BS etc.), are the two degrees awarded after a course of study in medicine and surgery at a university in the United Kingdom and other places following its usage, such as medical schools in Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand, Jamaica, South Africa, Pakistan and India. The naming suggests that they are two separate degrees; however in practice they are usually treated as one. (At Oxford and Cambridge it is/was possible to be awarded the two degrees on different dates.)\n\nThe degrees are the Commonwealth equivalent of what is known elsewhere as the degree of Doctor of Medicine (MD). In countries that award bachelors' degrees in medicine, however, the MD refers to a Higher Doctorate, and is reserved for medical practitioners who do research and submit a thesis in the field of medicine.

You might start with a course in English grammar, spelling and punctuation.\n\nA BA program generally requires a two foreign language courses (6 credits) but gives you added flexibility regarding your areas of study. A BS program is more analytical and geared toward professional application.
