BACHELORS DEGREE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 17. Q. What is the difference between a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science Degree? A. Both the Bachelor of Science (BS) and the Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree programs require that students complete 120 semester hours. The main difference between the two degree programs lies in the number of arts and science and applied professional credits required for each degree program. The BA degree requires more arts and science credits than the BS. The BA degree requires a minimum of 90 semester hours in the arts and sciences, and allows for a maximum of 30 applied professional credits. The BS degree requires a minimum of 60 semester hours in the arts and sciences and allows up to 60 applied professional credits. Students who have taken or intend to take a large number of applied professional credits will find the BS degree to be a more flexible option for them. 18. Q. What can I do with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology? A. Some people who graduate with an undergraduate degree in psychology opt to work in the social services field. A few common jobs in this area that are open to those with a bachelor's-level degree include school counselors, counselors at the work place, NGO workers, and psychosocial rehabilitation workers. 19. Q. What is Nano Technology? A. It is the manipulation of matter at the smallest level (on an atomic and molecular scale. The fabrication of Nanomachines will enable us to do anything at a microscopic level. Nanomachines can swim around in your bloodstream and attack viruses (or destroy cancer cells), can fix microscopic hairline fractures in aircraft wings during flight etc. 20. Q. What can I do with a Bachelor's degree concentrating in Nano technology? A. Today, nano technology is revolutionizing industries including communications, Medicine, agriculture, textiles and semiconductor and micro electronics manufacturing.The nano technology field is poised for explosive growth, yet there are a shortage of engineers, technologists and technicians who can support experimentation, fabrication and testing. With this degree you will be able to address this challenge by being provided education and training in nano technology- preparing you for a greater career in non electronics design and fabrication to biomedical research and energy R&D.
