Ok to make a long story as short as possible, I am one semester away from graduating with a B.B.A. in Information Systems. I am still getting this degree no matter what. Now, at my school to get an IS degree you have to take a 16 credit concentration in Computer Science, which includes 2 VB.Net courses and 2 Object Oriented Programming(using Python) courses.

I am considering adding a B.A. in Computer Science. I enjoy programming more than drawing diagrams and analyzing systems and I like the technical aspects of my classes more than the IT management aspect.

I do however value my business degree, in other words I don’t want to hear how I should have done CS in the first place, I want both degrees not one over the other.

Adding this degree would involve staying another 2 years putting my total time in college at 6 years. Money is not an issue, and I really do want this. What do you guys think, is this career suicide?
