  • What's the Difference Between the B.A. and B.S. Degree In
    What’s the Difference Between the B.A. and B.S. Degree in ES? 8.1.20 If you’re thinking about pursuing Environmental Studies (ES) at UC Santa Barbara the first important decision you have to make is choosing which degree to pursue, the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Environmental Studies. While both majors are similar in design and stress the importance of understanding the complex interrelationships between the humanities, social sciences, and natural science disciplines, having two degree options allows students maximum flexibility to choose a major that best fits their environmental interests and goals. In this document we provide a detailed comparison of the academic requirements of the B.A. and B.S. major so one can understand the differences and can make an educated decision. Given your decision will also be based on what you want to do after graduation we thought it might be helpful to also highlight just a few example career paths each degree might lead to. Just remember, no matter which major you choose, your decision should be based on what you believe will ultimately make you happy. Simply put, the B.A. degree in ES is the more interdisciplinary major, requiring a swath of introductory courses in the humanities, social, physical, and natural sciences. It stresses the importance of comprehending basic social, cultural, and scientific theories and understanding how they interact with one another and play an important part of every environmental issue. While this degree will make one science literate, the degree offers maximum flexibility to select ES electives and outside concentration courses from just about every academic discipline at UCSB, including: arts, policy, culture, languages, humanities, and economics to name just a few.

The purpose of the program is to train individuals in medicine and biomedical research to prepare them for careers as physician-scientists. The program was inaugurated in 1969, and it has since trained more physician- scientists than any program in the nation. More than 70% of the individuals who have completed this postgraduate training are now actively involved in research programs at leading institutions. The program consists of three parts: 1. An enhanced MSTP thread integrated with the Phase 1 medical curriculum; 2. At least three years of original research in a medically relevant field to satisfy the requirements for the PhD degree; and 3. Core clinical clerkships (Phase 2) and advanced clinical electives (Phase 3) Both the MD and PhD degrees are awarded upon the completion of the program. The MSTP curriculum (http://mstp.wustl.edu/ program/Pages/MSTP-Curriculum.aspx) is integrated to allow for the timely completion of training. Students typically complete training in seven or eight years. The program matriculates an average of 25 students per year, which is the equivalent of 25% of the entering School of Medicine class. All MSTP students receive financial support in the form of stipends (currently $32,500 per year), health coverage, disability and life insurance, and full tuition remission for both the MD and PhD phases of training.
