Bachelor of Arts and Science

Bachelor of Arts and Science (B.A.S. or B.A.&Sc. or BA.Sc or B.A.Sc. or BASc) is an undergraduate bachelor's degree conferred by a small number of English-speaking universities from countries including the United States, Canada,[1] the United Kingdom,[2] New Zealand,[3] and Australia. There is no one set way in which a B.A.Sc. programme is generally structured but they generally involve students taking courses from both the liberal arts and the sciences,[1] and/or require a student to complete the general requirements for a bachelor's degree for two different academic majors (or academic minors) — one that usually leads to a B.A. degree and one that usually leads to a B.Sc. degree.[2] In the United States, the degree is meant to be a four-year degree, but many students will take five years to complete the program.

Technically speaking, it is not an example of a double degree, as universities only confer a single degree.[4][5]
