Bachelor of Arts vs. Science Degrees in Today’s World
Although you can get a Bachelors Degree in a diverse range of different areas of study, there remain two distinct groups that these degrees are divided into. The first group is the Bachelor of Arts and the second group is the Bachelor of Science. However, in today’s world, these two things often blend together more than they used to.
For example, a look at the degrees available through Gibbs College in Vienna will reveal that there is a computer degree in the Bachelor of Arts program (graphic design) as well as one in the Bachelor of Science program (information technology). These degrees point to the reason that the two types of Bachelor programs have become so much alike; they’re both about technology.
Technology degrees have typically been considered a science. However, as the use of advanced technology becomes more commonplace, it has become necessary to adjust our thinking. A computer-based degree can now be considered more of an art than a science.
