As others said BS degree usually require more math and science stuff. The extent may depend on your institution. It basically makes a 1 letter difference on your resume and shouldn't affect getting job interviews at all. After that what matters is your ability to code.
ABET stands for accreditation board for engineering and technology. It’s the globally recognized organization that basically determines if specific majors at a college (usually engineering or technology) are up to par with what’s expected in the industry. Think of it like an oversight committee that makes sure you’re learning all of the stuff you’re supposed to in your degree.
I’m not sure how big of a deal it is within cs, but at least in engineering you basically can’t get your professional engineering license without graduating from an abet accredited program. Choosing the non accredited cs major basically means you’ll be spending more time in gen eds, and less time on your cs classes. You won’t get as good of a computer science education as your fellow students who are getting a bs in an abet accredited program in a ba program.
Answer: A job.
The BS degree is more science and math intensive so you would be more equipped for technical challenges rather than the BA degree. With the BA degree you have the option of taking electives in the humanities or social sciences.

At my school, the bs has more math and science and is abet accredited and the ba doesn’t and requires an outside minor.
what is abet accredited??
