Hi guys, soon-to-be junior undergraduate here.
I've been previously leaning towards a double major in Finance (BBA) and Mathematics (BS) in order to ultimately pursue an MFE program and enter a Quantitative Finance career. Now that I'm a junior, I'm not longer a "pre-business" major and need to choose one officially.
The relevant choices, all with a double major in Mathematics:
1. ECON (BBA)
2. ECON (BS) Minor ____ (thinking computer science as a minor)
3. FINANCE (BBA) (probably still able to minor in computer science as well)
4. INSY (computer science) (BBA)
5. INSY (BS) Minor ____ (FINA or ECON)
While I've been previously leaning towards choice 3, after reading these forums, it seems like more people are going with choice 2 by taking Economics. Are there any real advantages to each other, Finance or Economics? Also, what is the significance of BBA vs. BS pertaining to this career?
And by the way, sorry if this has already been asked, tried searching the forums, but wasn't able to find this specific question.
Thanks for the help!
