my intro and some advice on majors

Hello monkeys:
My name is Jorge, and I'm starting my second semester in college as a Freshmen in a few days.
School wise I'm going to a community college--didn't have the best time during highschool so got rejected everywhere else.
At any rate, once I get my A.A. I'm going to use that to transfer to a 4-year institution and therein is my question.
I'm in Florida, in Fort Lauderdale to be exact, and the most well-known college down here is Florida Atlantic, with Florida International University being a close second.
My community college is Public, and has partnerships with both universities.
FAU has a unique B.S. in Finance that no other school around here seems to have, and both FAU and FIU have BBAs in Business Administration with different concentrations including Accounting.
My target is Investment banking and Private Equity.
So, am I better off going for a B.B.A or a B.S. in Finance?
Every site I've read recommends the M.B.A for graduates but I haven't seen any recommendations as far as undergraduate studies so what do you recommend?

Thanks,

Jorge
