The difference between Architecture BSc/BA?

I’m confused about the difference between a BSc and a BA, and which one is more respected in terms of better job prospects and higher pay.
There is no difference. A BA from one university could be more science/maths content than a BSc from another university. It’s just based on the decision of a committee at the point the degree was originally validated it doesn’t reflect the current course content.

In terms of architecture job prospects it makes no difference. Architecture agencies and companies are aware of the various strengths and weaknesses of different architecture courses and will want to see a portfolio of your work regardless.
