[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid got a liberal arts degree in Chemistry with a minor in music and is gainfully employed in his field and applying to grad schools next year.

His best friend got a BA in Philosophy and is making a good salary working for a venture capital firm in Silicon Valley.

HUH?  Chemistry degree is a B.S. with a minor in music.  Those of us with Chem, Engineering, Bio degrees are awarded a 'Bachelor of Science' B.S., not a Bachelor of Arts'B.A.[/quote]

You have a BS degree in science and don’t realize that your degree is in the liberal arts?!— SMH

BA degrees focus on humanities arts within the liberal arts. BS degrees within the liberal arts focus on math and science.[/quote]

I had one year Freshmen English, 1 history requirement and Psychology.  The rest of my courses 98% were hard core science.  The last two years all science.  I had 4 hours of lab after my morning courses (7:30-noon).  No matter what you call it, it was not liberal arts.[/quote]
