<p>B.A. vs B.S. (Bachelor of Arts vs. Bachelor of Science)
…
Most Bachelor of Science programs are a little more intense than a Bachelor of Arts program. In other words, in addition to the degree having to be in a science related field, the degree itself will contain more required courses than a Bachelor of Arts degree. Of course this varies from college to college, but within each school the bachelor of science program is always more intense than the bachelor of arts program. There may be one more required course per semester, or more science courses required. The bottom line translation is, the program is harder to get through; in some cases, a lot harder.

<p>Many high-profile employers like to see a B.S. If you plan on applying to grad school or maybe a government job, you should strongly consider getting a B.S.</p>
<p>Westsidewolf is correct; MathEcon + Econ is a no go. It can be easy (or very hard) to double major depending on what you choose as that second major. Many people do the Financial Computation and Modeling minor. Managerial Studies and Policy Studies are both very popular second majors for MathEcon. ((NOTE: Managerial Studies and Policy Studies both can only be second majors – you must have another major)) The Business minor is popular for many students.</p>
<p>Or you can double in History, Hispanic Studies, etc. Whatever floats your boat. Just know that double majors, minors, etc. tend to leave you with little time for “fun classes” so you better pick something you enjoy :)</p>
