Actually, Satingun NEVER said she is a psych major, she's a Communications Major, but has a nursing background, and an emphasis on psychology. I'm also a Clinical Hypnotherapist, so let me know when you decide to get help; I'm only $110.00 an hour for therapy. 
"The Bachelor of Arts degree offers a more broadly based experience in the "liberal arts and sciences" -- a college experience that goes beyond the minimum requirements in Arts and Humanities, as a strong complement to exposure to math and science.
The Bachelor of Science degree offers a slightly different label for a degree that is more focused in the sciences and mathematics, with less breadth of experience in other areas."
You won't "choose" a BA or a BS; you chose your discipline to study, and that discipline is either a BA or a BS. Neither degree holds more weight than the other; and often if you take only sciences, i.e., math, you are considered by potential employers to not be well-rounded enough for many jobs.

Nobody calls your choice study a discipline anymore because the curriculum has been watered down too much. They call it a major because your MAJOR emphasis circulates around your chosen topic. Learning Jujitsu is a discipline because it's taught every day. Psychology is a study and if you're wanting to make it a life practice you sign up for that course and it becomes a MAJOR.
A Bachelor of Arts degree is better applied with someone wanting to enter the psychology/case work/social worker field. You're going to work on a lot or literature and history with this degree.
A Bachelor of Science degree is bettered if applied with a student that wants to enter the psychiatry field. You're going to be rotating a little psych/sociology/anthropology with a heavy dose of science and mathematics if studying for this degree.
There's a very big difference in the behavior of the psychologist and psychiatrist. They are on two sides of the behavioral studies field. You should take this into consideration before you make up your mind. You can always change your major, but it's good to have your game plan squared away before you enter. It becomes a hassle when you're switching out credits and having to dump some because they don't apply to your former major.
Those are the major differences in the B.A. and B.S. in reference to the psychology field.

Actually, with most majors, you can choose between a BA or BS. Majors are not one or the other. My degree is in math, I had a choice. My wife's degree is in Psych - she had a choice.
It goes both ways. I chose a BS for teaching because school districts want science/math teachers whose studies' were more focused. So, in that instance, having a BS was preferred.

Actually, originally I was going to major in business with an option in Marketing. However, I ONLY wanted to learn the marketing aspect of business, but unfortunately that is impossible, and you are still forced to take multiple courses in financing, accounting, business management, etc., which I just could NOT tolerate.
The marketing field is heavily influenced by psychology, and any marketing teacher will tell you that many psych majors hold positions in marketing departments.
So that being said, my plan is to major in psych, and minor in marketing. Also, majoring in psych gives me many other options just in case.
L.D.S., so are you currently working on your B.A or B.S? What is your goal in the long run?

My B.A. I'm stuck in between the Nature vs. Nurture battle. My views have always been on both sides, though. Although psychiatrists make more money, they often don't deal directly with a person's psyche. They more or less analyze the client, make a decision on what's best for them, and prescribe them medication. Some see that as more beneficial, but I'm not so inclined. I'd rather become a psychologist and study children and family cases. I have a small amount of formal background in case work and counseling.
In the long run, I'd like to own my own practice or branch off into criminal psychology. Right now I'm heavily focused in on the mind of serial offenders and abnormal psychology i.e. disorders/behavior patterns/ritualistic beliefs. Serial killers are so interesting because of their simple beliefs but complex backgrounds. The crazy thing (pun intended) about serial offenders is that it took nearly a perfect sequence of personal/psychological/natural shifts to make them absolute monsters. Perfect circumstances never render perfect people, as my teacher said. It's a very intense read if you can find books about serial offenders. You should look some up.
