Major in Business Technology Administration and looking for a minor; and a programming related question

Hello Monkeys!

-I am a junior in Business Technology Administration (it's business oriented information systems major; no programming)... My goal is a career in Hedge Fund, and I know the job market is tough, so I am trying to supplement my major with other things. My school offers minors in Economics, Statistics, or Mathematics, and certificates in Finance or Accounting. What should a pick?

-I already know programming languages (C++, Java, Python, and in the process of learning Matlab). I have learned all of these on my own. Do recruiters usually look for a certificate for programming languages or you can just simply learn them on your own?

Thank you for your help :)
