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.
