Just for clarification...unlike Euro countries (including Oz) in the US there is a difference between BS and BABS- means Bach of Science (you were correct) but it means that along with your major courses- for example you are a computer science major so you need to take visual basic and C++ along with some other stuff- they will also make you take many a math (differential equations, calc etc) along with some science (calc based physics and intro to chem etc)in order to get your degree. I know at my Uni here in order to get a BS in any subject the major is combine with a minor (for example you are a comp sci major with a implied maths or physics minor) there isnt really much choice in this option
for a BA however its a little different
BA- means Bach of Arts and in addition to your regular major subjects they dont make you do anything (lol) I know the main difference between like the US and Oz is that in Oz once you are in your program you only take courses in that program hence the Bach of sociology instead of a BA in Soc...all it means is that a person with a BA has taken more sujects then just Soc subjects (for example crim justice, chemistry, psych, english, etc) get my point?
I hope that cleared it up for ya...
btw Ive had vegemite--ugh
But after 6 months in Australia you get used to it....scary
