States, a Bachelor of Science degree may be a more specialized
version of B.A., with more focus on the subject
and less on a broad liberal arts background; for example, a
B.S. in economics may require several more advanced economics

(such as statistics), while requiring fewer lower-level liberal
arts classes that do not directly relate the major in question.^Bachelor of Science degree .
