<p>At certain U.S. universities and in certain fields of study, a B.S. is indeed more focused and intense than a B.A. in the same major.</p>
<p>At other U.S. universities, there is no such distinction. </p>
<p>I think you would be making a mistake if you deleted any colleges from your list because they do not offer a B.S. in your intended field of study. For example, at my alma mater, which happens to be Cornell University, everyone in the College of Arts and Sciences gets a Bachelor of Arts degree – even the physics or chemistry majors. There is nothing inferior about a Cornell degree in physics or chemistry. It’s just the way that this particular university does things.</p>
