That is why I specify my area of study and/or specific courses or projects I learned. Even though my B.A. is in History, I took quite a few business courses to fill in the Free Electives, so if I am applying to a job which wants heavy business courses, I highlight those courses.
For instance, I'll list my degree (B.A in History), and then I also have my thesis underneath. Below that I say "Also studied: Business Communications, Managerial Accounting, Financial Accounting, Intro to Management, Business Law, etc."
These give the personnel manager an idea what they'd find on my transcript, and if they ask, I'll provide them with a copy.
