That depends on how one defines “easier”.

A BA requires more Humanities and Social Sciences courses, which tend to be writing-intensive as courses become advanced. The BS would require fewer of those, and more STEM courses.

So – students who don’t like writing papers might find a BA more taxing than a BS. Or, at least, equally taxing, but in a different way.
