Which is a better course to pursue, B.Sc in psychology or BA in psychology?

Hello, BA psychology students take the course in a more traditional way. Whereas, the B.Sc psychology students take the course in the modern way. The traditional significance and importance of psychology as a subject is imparted to the students of the BA psychology course, whereas the application of it is with the B.Sc psychology course. The period to study BA psychology is three years in most universities. On the other hand, the period to study B.Sc psychology is also three years in most universities, but a few other universities prescribe four years of study for the completion of the course. BA psychology students tend to study subjects such as philosophy and logic more than the students of B.Sc psychology. I hope it helps. If so, kindly upvote this answer.
