What are the differences between a B.S. and a B.A. in Meteorology?

I'm looking to attend a university that offers a Bachelor's degree or higher in meteorology, but I've noticed that the degrees can be B.S. or B.A. If I want to go into research and applied meteorology, which would be better for me?

The difference between BA and BS differ from school to school, but usually the BA has a stiffer foreign-language requirement and perhaps more liberal-arts general education classes. It's likely that the meteorology courses you take will be the same either way.
Hmm, B.S. stands for Bullshit :P hahahaha. Seriously though, there isn't much difference between a B.S. degree and a B.A. degree in some fields, BUT for meteorology, a B.S. would probably be best. A B.A. degree would only be best for more arts oriented studies (Hence the name "Bachelor of the Arts") such as literature, history, humanities, ethnic studies, etc. P.S. I think that if you look closer, there won't a B.A. degree for meteorology offered at the university(s) that you plan to attend.
The B.A. degree in Meteorology requires you to take courses in meteorology, chemistry, physics, calculus, computer science, and others. The requirements for the B.S. degree in Meteorology are quite similar but include more work in mathematics. The B.S. degree is higher than a B.A degree, and meets all recommendations of the Meteorological Society
