    BA in Psychology involves more liberal arts courses.
    Generally speaking, a Bachelor of Arts degree focuses on more liberal arts general education courses. Students who choose this degree may also be required to complete a foreign language component. The BA option usually involves taking fewer courses in psychology and more classes in subjects outside of the major field area. BS in Psychology requires more science, math, and psychology courses.
    A Bachelor of Science degree will focus more on science and mathematics courses. Students pursuing BS in Psychology may have to take more lab and statistics general education classes.
