BA or BS won’t matter for grad school either…

No, the letters themselves don’t much matter as some universities offer only the BA because of which college the science department finds itself in. However, at universities which offer both the BA and the BS, the BA degree is less rigorous, primarily in required math, statistics and lab courses, not to mention the major classes themselves. In many cases, the BA track would NOT be suitable for graduate admissions in that field of scientific study.
