President-elect Donald Trump's opposition to what was considered must-pass legislation reinjected a sense of chaos and political brinkmanship that was reminiscent of his first term in office.
No, but it’s meant for understanding a topic at a broad level so you can communicate about said topic. It’s different from a Bachelor of science which delves more deeply into the topic and you can certainly call yourself an engineer with this kind of degree. You cannot call yourself an engineer or a scientist with a Bachelor of Arts (physics).
I’m from Australia and there are no BA(Physics) here, only BS(Physics) and you can only call yourself an engineer if you have the right degree, approved by engineers Australia and/or IEEE. Having the title of engineer here is similar to the medical doctor title.
Edit: Though the tone of your response makes sense to me now that I think of it. My husband’s company recently hired a senior software engineer from the states and he’s turned out to be no better than the local engineering graduates despite having over 20 years experience.
Cambridge and Oxford only do BA. Harvard has a BA for physics as well. They offer both for computer science - and the difference is subtle. The ba degree allows for non-concentration electives.
Not a physics degree but an arts degree in physics. He doesn’t know shit.
… Do you mean a “bachelor of arts” degree? Because that’s not an “arts degree”.

It very much depends on the university. You can’t make any consistent claims about either without talking about a specific school.
🤣

BA is not simply “an overview” full stop.
