I would personally go with the BA because it's well-known, you have a well defined curriculum with set classes and schedules, and is purposefully based upon a comprehensive education of a particular subject. Plus, I think it just looks better! This may not be for you though. Maybe you like doing your own thing and/or are trying to go back to school and graduate without fulfilling particular unit/class requirements. What school even offers this degree if you don't mind me asking? I've never actually seen a school that offers this degree. | ||

A Bachelor of General Studies (BGS) degree is an undergraduate degree, offered by some universities in the Western world. It is very similar to a Bachelor of Arts degree, although there are often fewer requirements for studies in humanities and social sciences. In many cases, the Bachelor of General Studies is offered as a degree program specifically for adult learners that have delayed or interrupted their studies, and typically offers matriculants the ability to design their own curriculum. This flexibility provides those who changed their field of study to complete a bachelor degree without fulfilling the requirements for a major. I had never heard of it either. Get a B.A. | ||

The B.S. requires more courses in the area of study, and the B.A. allows for more cross-subject study. For example, beyond the prereqs, a B.A. in math requires 7 extra math electives beyond math 103 while a B.S. requires 8. Did not know that. Guess that's why I was able to take so many other classes to get my BA  | ||

B.G.S. sounds like not a good option | ||
