So my experience in the US for employment is that nobody notices or cares if you have a BA or BS, except possibly in unusual cases (my school actually offered a “Bachelor of Science in Theater”). So I don’t think there’s much of a “focus” in the US. There’s a loose set of conventions which aren’t nearly as important as the actual major, and are mostly reflective of internal structures and programs at the university.
MA versus MS is different (I think similar to the difference between a M.Phil versus an M.Sc). But I’ve never seen anyone dwell much on BA/BS.
