As someone finishing a 3d program, what I did was get special permission to take units outside my curriculum in another major (Game Design) and have them credited to my degree. If you're already on your third year I'd say just go for the last year, IMO it helps when your job options may be limited (right now we're seeing a lot of instability and layoffs in the game and film industry, and people have been looking to do work for other things like children's books, etc). I guess more experienced artists can chime in on this.
Thanks for the input! I haven't gotten any courses out side of my program, as for all I know our curriculum is locked, and there are only couple slots for elective courses and that's it. I can definitely see my self going through with the last year, but I'm still doubting the usefulness of actual degree paper.
