<p>Sorry if this question has been raised previously.</p>
<p>What is the philosophy behind WCAS offering only BA degrees, and not BS degrees? You can’t get a BS in, for example, physics or chemistry?</p>
<p>Yes, that’s their philosophy, for no other reason than that’s what it is. It’s not the only university that does that, where you get a BA in biology or physics or chemistry rather than a BS. I wouldn’t sweat it, though.</p>
<p>BS, MS, PhD.</p>

<p>Another thing to point out - I’ve never understood why Medill only offers a BS in journalism, when in reality, you can get through the four years without taking ANY science classes, either through AP credit or careful distro selection. </p>
<p>It’s also ironic because many journalism majors - myself most definitely included - go into journalism partly because their math/science skills are, to put it lightly, embarassingly bad.</p>
