A "concentration" degree vs a "regular" degree
Good afternoon everyone. I'm new here and it's great to be here. I have a very large interest in Physics and plan on getting a degree in said field. I do have one big question; Is there a big difference between having a BS in Physics and a BS in Science, Math and Technology with a Concentration in Physics? All of my courses would be the same as a normal Physics curriculum. Would this "concentration" in physics be looked down upon in the physics community compared to a "regular" degree? You see my situation is as such; I have a full time job and the normal responsibilities that come with being an adult, lol, and the only school near me within a reasonable distance is SUNY Empire State College. Alas, it is a BS in Science, Math and Technology with a Concentration in Physics. Should I follow through with this school or just wait until I have the accessibility to say a CUNY school in which I could just get a regular BS in Physics? I am very sorry for this weird question, but it is just bugging the hell out of me. Thank you so much for all of your time and any help.
