Is there anything wrong with a BAAS degree vs BS degree for an IT major?

by hou17 . Updated 13 years, 6 months ago

My aim is to be able to land network administration jobs that require a bachelors degree. Would it even matter if the degree is BAAS (bachelors of arts and applied science) vs BS (bachelors of science). I know that the BS is more well known, but with the BAAS I should be able to transfer more credits and get my degree faster. Wouldn’t employers only care that I have a bachelors and not that its BAAS vs BS as long as its in my career field?

I know that most IT jobs can be obtained simply by having experience and some IT certs on your resume even if the job ad calls for a bachelors degree. So am I right in thinking I’ll be just as good with a BAAS degree? Just a side note, the BAAS degrees that I found are all regionally accredited programs at state universities.
