Question
Sir,
Why are college degrees titled "Bachelors of Science" degrees? My sister has a Bachelors of Science degree in Business Administration and my brother is going for his Bachelors of Science degree in Human Resource Management. But neither can explain to me why the word Science is in the degree.
Arts degree are considered more liberal arts, where science degrees have more math and science in the coursework. You will find this out when you go online at several universities and scroll down in the requirements. You could see that the concentrations are somewhat different in this regard.
