Picking classes to break into High Finance

I go to a Canadian university (Semi-target business degree) with a 3.9 GPA going into my third year. Should I be taking CS and math courses? Or should I focus on taking whatever gets me the best GPA for pursuing Investment banking.

My reasoning for considering CS and math courses is in case I change my mind and want to pursue something like S&T or for the benefit of knowing math and programming helping me stand out.

Thanks
