I am planning to major in econ and chemistry but want to get a BA in chemistry.
Yeah BA is a serious degree and you still have to take a lot of same classes to get the degree.
BS vs. BA is one of the most pointless and ignorant debate. You learn one way or another, that’s what it matters.
No. BA is just a funny degree 
Don’t take my word for it. Post your question in the thread “Ask any questions you need.”
