BS vs BA in statistics? Will it make a difference?
I'm currently a rising second year at the University of Chicago with plans to double major in econ and stats. I'm still deciding whether or not to do the BS or the BA for statistics. The main difference is that the math classes for the BS are a little harder and that the BS also requires one more term of computer science. In the eyes of employers, both straight after graduation and even years down the road, will having the stats BS, as opposed to the BA, make any difference in my chances of getting hired? I'm mainly interested in sales & trading, ibanking, consulting, actuarial science, and risk management. Basically, I'm just looking for the opportunity in business/finance that's best for me.
Will make effectively no difference now. Years down the road, will make absolutely no difference.
Only matters at all if you are looking for quant roles that will query your gpa specifically for the more difficult classes.
