Is a Berkeley Physics Degree Better Than SAC State for Northern California?

[Fuzzy Static]

I'm just curious if there really a better opportunity if I get a BS degree in Physics from Berkeley instead of SAC State if I only wanted to work and live in the Northern California.

As far as I know, UC Berkeley offers a B.A. in physics or astrophysics rather than a B.S., whereas Sac State does indeed offer the B.S. degree in physics. However, Berkeley does offer a B.S. in engineering physics.

The difference between a BA and BS is trivial. For example, some huge name school like MIT or Harvard only gives BA's. Some community colleges give BS's.

Thanks Pengwuino, that was going to my second question after reading the first reply.

MIT gives BSc. or BEng for nearly every (I think it is actually for all but am taking the conservative wording) course if you major in Literature you graduate with a BSc. in Literature.
