EC - B.S. Lib Studies, Accounting emphasis

[Kelly Green]

If I were to earn a "plain" B.S. degree in Liberal Studies from Excelsior - no Major, no Area(s) of Focus - but with approximately 24 hours of accountancy coursework (in preparation for the CPA exam), would it be misleading/unethical/wrong to list the degree on a resume as follows?

Excelsior College, Albany, New York
B.S., Accounting emphasis, 2010

(or I could spell out the degree title):
Excelsior College, Albany, New York
Bachelor of Science, 2010
Emphasis in Accounting

I specifically chose the word "emphasis" because I can't have a Major in Accounting with the Liberal Studies degree, and to just list it as "B.S., Accounting, 2010" would definitely be misleading, I believe.

Just as a bit of background, I have a Bachelor of Science in Finance degree from the business college (AACSB approved) at my state university, but it's from the 80's and my GPA was nearly underwater (below C level, get it? ha ha).

I want an updated degree with a solid GPA and plenty of Accounting coursework, but I don't want to do the Business Degree program at Excelsior because it means repeating all the business coursework that I previously completed, including Introductory Accounting courses, Ops Management, Business Policy (capstone course). I plan on testing out (DSST, ECE exams) of most of the Liberal Arts coursework, and do the Accounting coursework through LSU.

Thank you for your opinions/thoughts on this matter!
