There is a difference. A "BS" is a Bachelor of Science degree, and a "BA" is 
a Bachelor of Arts degree. But I was under the impression that a BA required 
taking a wider range of courses and was thus more valuable, so I don't know 
why your HR people would get upset (except that it's a discrepancy). 

There's a bigger difference between putting "university" instead of 'college" 
(colleges yearn to become universities), and biggest is the difference 
between "BA" and "MA" 8^)
