Dropping out of undergrad business school after accepting an offer?

I go to a public school with a business school, think UMich/UVA/UCB/UNC/UTA. Would it be okay to drop out of the undergraduate business program after accepting an offer? I would like to pursue other academic opportunities in another undergraduate program at my school. I would not be able to complete the business school requirements if I did that other program. I've already taken all the finance classes I need. My only concern is that pretty much everyone in IB from my school was in the business school, so could it come back to bite me if I dropped out?

They confirm your degree so if you end up going from being a candidate for a BS and end up getting a BA you could get screwed

 

Nobody really cares about your major, especially after a year or two after graduation.  Unless you are applying to Grad school, then sometimes your major matters, but that's more for specialized fields, not an MBA.  As long as your company is ok with it, and especially if you've actually taken a decent amount of "business" classes - nobody in real life will care if you got a business degree or another degree (as long as the other degree is relatively rigorous).
