CollegeStudent7, if you are really pressed for time I'd try to get the BSBA in General Management rather than the BA in Liberal Arts, even though you can completely test out of the latter. I personally think the BA in Natural Sciences and Mathematics is the best option, and I think a BA in Liberal Arts won't look as good for you on a resume or CV as either of the other two options. At the end of the day, you have to make the decision within constraints such as time and money but I'd suggest trying to take the long-term view into account as well, e.g.., a business degree is usually more useful than than a general liberal arts degree.
I greatly appreciate your feedback and recommendation. The only reason I shifted to LS gear was because it was my understanding that you couldn't test out of the majority of things for BSBA and BA, Nat Sci/Mathematics. If it takes me an extra month or so, I'm totally open to it, but from what I am concluding it would take me longer. Perhaps I am overlooking something.
Burbuja sent me a nice list that is making a lot more sense now than it did before. I am going to have a look at it when I get home. The Nat Sci/Math will still take me at least until the very end of this year. *sigh*
You do have a point. If another degree takes only a month or two extra then I am going to go for it. It was my understanding that they would not.
PS. How was majoring in Economics? Was it hard? That wouldn't look too shabby on a resume either right? I hear that it's difficult, however. I know that's subjective.
