Another thought is to make the core of the BA the same as
the core for the BS and to remove two IT electives. That would
leave 2 electives that could be IT electives or Cognate electives.

It is not an accreditable program and is done as a second major, or a roughly 30 credit program on top of an existing degree. It has relatively few students (maybe 10% of the IT program).
