Would a double major in finance and computer science be worth it?

I go to the University of Virginia and I currently have the option to double major in computer science and the McIntire School of Commerce. Would doing both actually help me start a career in the business world (considering I would became a quantitative analyst or otherwise)? Or should I focus on one path?

Side note: Would the quantitative analysis track in McInitre actually be enough for becoming a successful quant?
