Maybe a dumb question but I have no idea.... Most if not all of the Business Admin Bachelors degrees I've looked at have been Bachelors of Arts in Business Admin but the TESC is a Bachelor of Science. Is there a good reason? What's the difference and does it matter?
Thanks

"Most if not all"? What programs are you looking at? Most if not all Business Admin programs I've looked at are BS degrees. Art would make no sense.

I've seen a lot of BBAs (Bachelor of Business Administration). Business administration is not a liberal art. The liberal arts include humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and mathematics.

Of the handful I looked at prior to settling on TESC, if they were BA - Business Admin degrees, they were from schools that did not have a full Business Department and were squeaking a Business Admin degree out of one of their other departments.
Link the one(s) you're referring to and perhaps we can figure out out? Generally, though, a Business Admin degree is going to come from the School of Business which are almost universally Science, not Liberal Arts.

It shouldn't matter at all.
Excelsior's bachelor's in the School of Business and Technology are a BS in Business (aka BSB) and a Bachelor of Professional Studies (BPS). You can also earn a BS in Liberal Studies with area of focus in Business/Management or similar.
At Charter Oak, the requirements for a BA with concentration in Business Administration and for a BS with a concentration in Business Administration are identical except that the BA requires at least 90 semesters in designated liberal arts subjects across the whole degree, the BS at least 60.
