Excelsior More Money For Tuition Out Of The Big Three?

That maybe true in some areas; however, as someone who attended a brick and mortar (Morehouse College, and Georgia State) a B.A in psychology was projected as being inferior to a B.S in psychology, even on popular medical forums like studentdoctor you can also see this projection. A B.A was thought of as the easy way out, due to the more science courses that the B.S required. When I attended a brick and mortar students would switch only to a B.A if they didn't satisfy their degree requirements on time for graduation, it was typically not what they wanted, and as a former Biology major, the same exact projection existed in regard to the natural sciences, I even had a Biopsychology professor who had a B.A in biology make fun of herself, because the thought of a B.A in biology was funny to her, as she stated you are more likely to see a B.A in biology from someone in her older age group.
