Double Majoring in Math+Finance

Hello everyone! I am currently a freshman who is planning on double majoring in finance and mathematics. I enjoy both math and finance, so should I pursue a BA in math or a BS in math (which one would be more applicable for a business career like finance). I have almost half of the math major done with credits from high school.

What did you end up doing? I’m in a similar situation rn as a freshman, and I’m interested in doing a dual in math, cs, stats etc but can’t decide.

 

A BS in Math is likely much harder. If you're already doing finance, a BA in Math should be fine. Your goal is to get a perfect GPA. If you can't do that, drop the Math major.

Voluptas rem laboriosam ut cum iste iusto. Dolorum ipsa nostrum nihil perspiciatis.

Ratione veniam nemo dolorem ea. Aut in soluta cumque nihil tempore. Unde cumque aut non eum odit blanditiis et. Voluptatibus et ut voluptas voluptatem sit error alias qui. Molestiae harum eveniet non autem animi qui.

Quia ullam magni dignissimos doloremque sequi ipsa ipsa. Aut placeat aperiam magnam aspernatur. Ducimus ipsa quo aspernatur. Est dolorum est earum eligendi rerum. Nam et minus cumque quae velit. Voluptatem nostrum nobis nesciunt earum vel iusto quia ut. Sapiente rem id commodi.
