a mom Wrote:Wow, I haven't been on the forum in months and am catching up on all the changes. My ds finished his degree requirements this summer for a BA in Liberal Studies. He just got his degree today (Jennifer, you might remember us). Anyway, he was so disappointed that the degree just stated a Bachelor of Arts. He kept going on and on about what kind of degree is that. It could be a BA in Criminology or Communication or anything. Even his AS degrees stated what they were in. Gosh, I would have thought he'd be happy. Oh, well...he's off to bible college next month. (sigh)>>
Yes I remember you guys! Congrats to your son, and just tell him that it's pretty normal for degrees to have the BA or BS without anything else on them. Maybe 90% of schools do that, so hopefully he can just frame it and enjoy it! Way to go!!
