President-elect Donald Trump has delivered a likely death blow to bipartisan congressional budget negotiations, rejecting the measure as full of giveaways to Democrats.
“Elon Musk earned a B.A. in physics and a B.S. in economics from the University of Pennsylvania. The degrees were awarded on May 19, 1997.” -Penn, 2019
I don’t know much about higher education, but Bachelor of Arts in physics sounds like BS to me.
It’s a Bachelor of Arts, I don’t see how that detracts in anyway from him having a physics degree. I dislike Elon Musk just as much as the next guy, but there’s no reason to shit on him for not having a bachelor of science in physics.
A BA is just the rank below master’s degree. It has nothing to do with art or science. The college degree hierarchy goes BA, Masters, PhD for most fields of study.

There is very little meaningful difference between a B.A and B.S in Physics. B.A is a little less rigorous, but not by much.
That said, I don’t have confidence in Musk being able to earn either without some bullshit going on.

I love how you’re being voted down and people who have no idea what s BA degree is are being voted up.
Supports my theory that most of lemmy is compromised of like 15 year olds.
The differences vary from school to school, and sometimes depend on which electives you took or what your GPA was.
No kidding 🤣
