<p>The classes that your student takes and <em>research</em> are much more important than the letters on a diploma. Doing a BA program doesn’t prevent students from taking additional science classes. If your child is interested in grad school, I’d also strongly recommend taking several upper-level classes in zoology and botany-- all three fall under the “biology” umbrella. (I was a B.S. Zoology major for quite awhile.)</p>
