Hello, I'm a junior narrowing down my college list, and I'm curious about liberal arts colleges. Do they offer Bachelor of Science degrees like larger universities do, or do they only provide Bachelor of Arts degrees?
Greetings! It's wonderful that you're taking the time to research your college options. Liberal arts colleges often provide a broad curriculum that includes both Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees. The availability of B.S. degrees can depend on the specific institution and their range of majors offered. Many liberal arts colleges have robust science programs that award B.S. degrees in fields like Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, Environmental Science, and more.
For example, at a liberal arts college like Williams or Bucknell, you can pursue a B.S. in a variety of sciences and mathematics. It's always best to check the academic offerings of each college you're interested in. You can typically find this information on the college's official website under their academic programs or course catalog. Best wishes on your college search journey!
