At school, topics are divided into Arts, Science and Humanities. The majority of Bachelor’s degrees are titled Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science.

Using the word “Science” colloquially to describe anything that isn’t the Arts or Humanities is entirely consistent.

    German has Geistes- (Spirit/Mind) Sciences and Natural Sciences.

    I don't see how the imprecision of calling it simply Science is valid though, given that it's just a lukewarm repost of the age old quantitative vs qualitative research war.
