at least at Michigan State when I graduated back in '71, the primary difference
between a BA and a BS was the language requirement. If you took 2 years of a
language, you got a BA; if you went for a BS you got off with only 1 year.... given
that I am tone-deaf when it comes to languages other than midwestern
American-English, I went for a BS. <g>
