TESU BACS & BSBA CIS at the same time?

And I will admit, my perception of a BS over BA is a bit of conjecture on my part.  My first reaction to a BA in CS was "that's not how CS works".  Maybe most employers don't have the same opinion.  TBH I don't know exactly what most people want to do with their BACS or if it matters.  I know for me it definitely doesn't or I wouldn't be doing the program.  I do know it is less rigorous than most, but again, you can fill in the skills gap by independent learning if employers don't care.  It's just a piece of paper after all.

It really shouldn't matter, and nobody has ever said anything to me. They only difference (if there actually is one) would be a little more emphasis on liberal arts courses, which honestly, more engineers could use. You still have to have all of the same math and subject area coursework. As pointed out above, most career websites don't allow the distinction to be entered.

I do recall a friend of mine getting hassled over having a BACS by Qualcomm after they had already made an offer. So weird as he had 20+ years experience. They did end up hiring him.

Of course they're a strange bunch, anyway. They were the ones that started me on my degree journey when they rescinded a consulting contract after HR reviewed it and found I didn't have a degree. They couldn't even be bothered to notify me, they just ghosted me. I had to keep calling the hiring manager asking for my start date until they finally told me. Pissed me off, so I decided to do something about it.
