Hi Priyal,
Graduation in Economics can be pursued in B.Sc in Economics as well as B.A Economics.
Differences between the two degree programs vary according to the university, and each degree has its own advantages. The degree that is best suited for you depends on what you are interested in studying and on your plans after graduation.
Difference between the two:
B.A. degree is better if you are interested in getting a broad liberal arts education and in approaching the study of economics from the theoretical perspective.
The B.A. gives you a comprehensive view of economics with a focus on theory instead of its applications to business and finance. The B.A. is also typically less mathematically rigorous, requiring courses in statistics rather than calculus.
B.Sc. degree in economics is the better choice for you if you are interested in studying more real-world problems and/or pursuing graduate-level work.
Depending on the university, the B.Sc. program might be focused on teaching applications of economic theory and solving real-world problems in business and finance. As a result, a B.Sc. in economics typically requires additional courses in mathematics beyond those required by the B.A. program.
