Degree Questions

[Farmerboy]

I just applied to TESC for my degree in business and am in the enrollment process but I have couple of questions for those with experience!

When I started I chose a business major because it intrigued me and it seemed like a good "foundation degree" in case I wanted to further my education. The test material has been extremly interesting and I have really enjoyed learning.

However, I always really enjoyed history and have done well on the history tests that I have taken. I would also eventually like to pursue a career in the political arena.(call me weird!) With that being said my parents and I decided to look into getting a double major. When we asked TESC they said that I would have to take 30hrs of coursework to graduate with a double major.

With that backround information I had a few questions,

Is the coursework actual courses or can you test out of most of the requirments?

Is a double major even worth the extra money and effort and would it differentiate myself when I eventually seek a job?

Would it be better to get a BA in history or a BA in political science?

I really would appreciate any input you guys could give me. Hopefully I didn't just ramble. Thanks in advance!
