Impact of Dropping a Degree to a Minor

Hey guys I just had a quick question about dropping a major in order to graduate on time. I am currently planning on pursuing a dual degree: BBA (Concentration: Finance) and a BS in Mathematics of Finance and Risk Management, along with a computer science minor. However, doing this would take me 4.5 years and I'd rather graduate on time in four years with one degree (BBA) and minors in mathematics and computer science.

Let's say I receive a full time offer for an IBD job, and decide after to drop my math major. Would that be a bad sign and would it cause my full time offer to get revoked? There's literally a difference of four classes to get my math major but I have to stay an extra semester to complete.
