I have taught at more different institutions than many of my colleagues and
have seen that some give a BA and some give a BS, and there were few
differences in overall requirements. Sometimes is was an additional science
requirement, sometimes it was an additional math requirement, and sometimes
there were no differences. At one school, the only students who received a BS
were the education majors. All other students regardless of their major got a
BA. It didn't seem to make much difference to us, but it sometimes did for our
students.

We have in fact, two kinds of morality, side by side: one which we preach, but
do not practice, and another which we practice, but seldom preach. -Bertrand
