I am an Applied Math major BA. I’m considering to switch to BS. But I would also like to minor in Computational Biology since I’m interested in working on Bioinformatics in the future. If I choose to get a bachelor of science in A.Math, I would barely have enough room for this minor. However, if I’m doing BA, there would be much more space for me to get a minor in C. Biology AND taking some other fun elective classes.

Which one would be a better choice?
1.) BA + Minor + Fun elective classes (possibly a Music minor)
2.) BS + Minor (the courseload is also much tougher)

PS: I plan on going to graduate school after I graduate, but I am also ready to find a job in case if I don’t get in any graduate schools.
