Okay, so....
1) Figure out the requirements for BS General Business
2) Figure out the requirements for BS Liberal Arts
3) Figure out the optimum way to achieve both 1 and 2.
The rule for a second degree is that you must complete "30 new credits" beyond those that were transcripted as part of your first degree.
As long as you fulfill ALL the separate requirements for both degrees, these 30 new credits could be in any subject you like.
I am completing a BS in Psychology. As part of my 'electives' for the Psych degree, I have chosen to fulfill many of the core requirements for the BS General Business along the way.
As a result, by the time I complete my Psych degree, I will only need a few more "Business" exams to satisfy all the requirements for the BS General Business. I will then use additional 'elective' credits to ensure that I fulfill the "30 new credits" requirement.
Thus, the MINIMUM total number of credits needed to earn two degrees is 150 credits (120 + 30).
Does this make sense?

Edit: Forgot to mention...none of your "30 new credits" for the second degree can be in the same subject as the major of your first degree.
