I have the option of attending a well known university in the northeast, Rutgers, but they only offer a b.a for information technology. I also have the option of attending a less known university that offers a b.s in information technology, which one should I choose?
BA vs. BS across different universities doesn’t matter - that’s just the destination the school that been accredited to offer in that field. A BA at one school might be identical too - or even more scientifically rigorous than - a BS at another school.
So attend the school you want.
