There are local areas and industries where non-standard degree titles will be more familiar.
For example, in Florida since the late 2000s, the state has been upgrading community colleges to offer bachelor's degrees through the Florida College System. It looks like about one third of the bachelor's programs currently offered at these new state colleges award the Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS). About two thirds of the programs award the Bachelor of Science (BS). I'd bet there were relatively more BASes in earlier years of this transition.
Similarly, the community college system in Ontario, Canada has been adding bachelor's degrees since 2002, generally with specialized titles. At George Brown College, the community college in downtown Toronto, degrees you can earn include the Bachelor of Early Childhood Leadership (BECL) and the Bachelor of Digital Experience Design (BDED).
