As you can see from my sig, I've got a target date of the end of the year for my current degree in General Business with Excelsior. The reason behind that date is that I have my 4500 hour requirement for the PMP certification. Without a bachelors degree, it requires 7500 hours of PM experience. One of the many reasons that I am pursuing a bachelors degree is in order to receive this certification.

Now my question is this:

Do you think it would behoove me to change to a Liberal Arts major to knock out the bachelors requirement, submit my application for the PMP test, and then continue my General Business path for my second major?

The upside would be that I could "theoretically" finish the Lib Arts degree much more quickly. This would allow me to concentrate fully on the (/shudder) Pre-calc classes that I am going to need to take for my business degree.

Potential downsides that I see is another application fee when it's time to receive the second major, but I was planning on pursuing a second major anyway. Any others that anyone can think of?
