<p>Yes, Rice offers it.</p>
<p>The BA and BS degrees are different. The BS degree is the “real” engineering degree, that prepares you for work in an engineering position. Companies looking to hire an electrical engineer will hire from the BS pool.</p>
<p>The BA degree is like a survey of engineering degree, where someone is exposed to the general fundamentals of engineering, but not all of the technical aspects. This degree is for those who want to study engineering but not practice it. An example is someone interested in law or medical school after graduation.</p>
<p>At Rice, the BS degree is ABET accredited, the BA degree is not, so only the BS degree can lead to licensure in most states. The BS is also about a semester longer than the BA (134 hours vs. 120 hours). </p>
