…4) Some schools (e.g. Yale) have both a BA and a BS track through the major. The BS track is usually the more rigorous one, and some employers will definitely prefer it. However, this is usually a separate issue from whether the degree is from the engineering school or the college of arts and sciences.

In the case of Yale, the department recently moved to Engineering. The difference to DS (sophomore CS major) was zero. They still offer BA or BS. He is still considering a double major with Psychology. His cup of tea is the BS.
