Graduated Business Major, want to become a quant now. What's my best bet?

Just graduated with a BBA, have a BB IB FT Offer lined up. Would like to end up in a Quant role, possibly S&T or Hedge Fund. I did not study math, physics, or CompSci during undergrad (just business topics, & Heard some MsF or MsFEng require previous work on topics mentioned) What should be my graduate studies?
