  • 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.

    Doctorate Recipients from United States Universities: Summary Report 2004 Survey of Earned Doctorates SPONSORED BY THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION, THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH, THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES, THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, AND THE NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION HIGHLIGHTS This report presents data on recipients of research doctorates awarded by U.S. universities from July 1, 2003, through June 30, 2004. This information is taken from the 2004 Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED), an annual census of new doctorate recipients. • The 419 universities in the United States that conferred research doctorates awarded 42,155 doctorates during the 2003-2004 academic year (the eligibility period for the 2004 SED), an increase of 3.4 percent from the 40,770 doctorates awarded in 2003, and the highest number since the all-time high of 42,647 in 1998. • The number of doctorates awarded by broad field in 2004 was greatest in life sciences, which conferred 8,819 Ph.D.s. The numbers in the other broad areas were 6,795 in social sciences; 6,635 in education; 6,049 in physical sciences and mathematics (combined); 5,776 in engineering; 5,467 in humanities; and 2,614 in business and other professional fields. • Women received 19,098 doctorates, or 45 percent of all doctorates granted in 2004. This is very similar to last year’s percentage for women. Women earned 50 percent of the doctorates granted in life sciences, 55 percent in social sciences, 52 percent in humanities, 66 percent in education, and 46 percent in business/other professional fields.
