BSN vs BS major in nursing

>>

The technical difference in the 2 degrees is usually in the administrative oversight of the school -- and that rarely makes a difference in the quality of the program.

A BS is a degree offered by the university as a whole. They offer bachelor's degrees in a variety of different majors, but each program is governed by the school as a whole. In most cases, the top faculty/administrator in each department has a title such as "Department Chairman" or something like that. A "Dean" is then over multiple different departments.

A BSN is offered by a professional school that is separate entity unto itself. If the school of nursing is part of a larger university, there will be connections between the larger school and the school of nursing -- but the school of nursing will have its own "Dean" and more political independence.

In most cases, it makes no difference to the students or to the design/quality of the program. If the program you are considering is part of a reputable university and accredited, then I wouldn't worry about it either way. Some people prefer one organizational structure -- others prefer the opposite structure.
