Bachelor of Arts and Science

A Bachelor of Arts and Science(s) (BASc), sometimes as Bachelor of Science and Arts (BScA), is an undergraduate bachelor's degree conferred by a small number of universities from countries including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, and France. There is no one set way in which a Bachelor of Arts and Science programme is generally structured but they generally involve students taking interdisciplinary courses from both the liberal arts and the sciences, 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 BA degree and one that usually leads to a BSc degree. The degrees are generally designed to be completed in three to four years, depending on the institution.

Not to be confused with Bachelor of Applied Science.

Technically speaking, in English-speaking universities it is not an example of a double degree, as universities only confer a single degree. However, Sciences Po, the only French-speaking university to offer the programme, grants a dual Bachelor's degree upon completion.
