Is it possible to major in 3 different subjects but under the same bachelors degree? I want to major in Finance, Computer Information Systems, and Accounting, which are all under the Bachelor of Business Administration degree but are different emphases or subjects...Is this possible and how long would it take?

It depends on the school. Some schools allow double majors while others don't.
Some schools that allow double majors do not allow you to get the same degree. For example, at Berkeley you can get two master's degrees if they are an MA and an MS -- but they will not allow you to get an MS in one field and another MS in a different field. I doubt that they would allow you to get a BBA in three areas.
You should check with your advisor.
That being said -- getting three undergraduate degrees won't really help you much. What will help you is getting a good undergraduate education. The degrees shouldn't matter -- pick one (of those, I would pick Finance) and take lots of classes in the other two areas.

Most colleges allow this. Triple majors are usually discouraged, because either it's too difficult to fit in all the courses, or it takes too long. Many colleges require you to graduate when you've completed the requirements for graduation in at least one major, plus all the general requirements. Finance and accounting will have very similar requirements, so that should be easily doable in four years - instead of having free electives, you'll just need to fill in your schedule with some specific courses. Since you know CIS will be a BBA, that means you've probably already chosen your school, as it would be a BS at an awful lot of other schools. You should have an academic advisor who can tell you whether this is allowed and whether he recommends it at your particular school.

It is possible, but you will make your life so miserable that way. Usually people have two majors in college. Also you would want to be focused on just one or two subjects. It would be so hectic and would take a long time to complete 3 or 4 majors.
