Why aren't you going fpr the more useful BSBA in CIS?

This was the quicker route with more flexibility and NO math. Also, I'm planning on pursuing a Masters. From what I've read, the focus of the undergrad matters very little.

That depends- if your goal is an MBA you are definitely going to see some statistics and algebra, and probably also calculus (in Managerial Economics). Furthermore, you would probably have to have some additional business courses or tests in order to go straight into an MBA program. I fail to see what a BALS does for you, TBH, whereas a business degree's utility is obvious.
Just my $.02.

Not going into an MBA program; most likely a Masters in IT. Yes, I realize there will be math to come but I'd rather not deal with it now.

You really should check the admissions requirements for your desired programs and deal with them now. The BSBA in CIS would seem to fit you like a glove. Just sayin'.
