Default BS Liberal Studies or BS Liberal Arts??

I just graduated last week from Excelsior with what I thought was a BS in Liberal Studies. That is what it has been called on nearly every document I've seen from them. However, I am looking at my unofficial transcript and see that it is listed as the following:

Degree: Bachelor of Science
Program: Liberal Arts
Focus Area: Health Prof.
Psychology
Conferred: 11/16/07

So, I'm thinking that if this is listed the same way on the official transcripts, then my degree is really a BS in Liberal Arts? I know it is splitting hairs, but I wouldn't want to list it wrong on my resume, since the transcript is what prospective employers will be looking at.

Has anyone seen how they actually list the BSL degrees on an official transcript?

Also, to other Excelsior grads, how is your degree listed? And how would you put it on your resume?
