UVA McIntire Undergrad Business - Quantitative Finance

Does somebody here that concentrated on this area - Quantitative Finance. What are the opportunities? Our son is applying for regular and has good numbers to get in. He is more of a math guy but not really interested in Eng. . hence, am thinking Quantitative Finance would be a natural fit for him.
Would it help to have dual concentration - Finance and Quantitative Finance? Does anyone here some idea regarding this concentration? Thank you.
