Yes. A liberal art such as Psychology or Sociology or Education will be a Bachelor’s of Art degree.
If you major in a scientific field such as Math, Computer Science, Chemistry, etc., you will get a Bachelor’s of Science degree with that major.

Yes it does. In order to get a BS you classes have to be geared more towards the sciences and preparation like stated above for graduate study. And in order to receive a BA it more of liberal arts type classes you have the flexibility of choosing the classes you want to take. The more interesting ones like Abnormal or Child Psychology
A BS degree is designed for students who intend to pursue careers in psychology and who desire to attend graduate school. The BA degree is more suited for students who are interested in psychology but who do not intend to have a career in psychology. BA students are allowed more freedom to choose which psychology classes they prefer. BS students adhere more closely to a curriculum designed to prepare them for graduate study.
