Fast/cheap bachelors with lots of low-level classes

It ultimately depends on your career goals. If you want a business masters to work as a manager in an office or something like that, doing a business undergrad degree isn't strictly required but it can be useful. The undergrad degree will cover topics that might otherwise be missed before you get to the masters level.

Also, consider what would happen if life were somehow to get in the way and your Master's degree were somehow put on hold for a while. Would you be comfortable being "stuck" with a history degree for a couple of years? (Not that there is anything wrong with history at all but it doesn't necessarily fit everyone's goals.)
