Is Computer Science considred a quantitative major for finance jobs?

I want to work in investment banking/ finance after college, and was wondering if Computer Science would be a good quantitative major for an undergraduate degree.





Ultimately, I want to get an MBA right after or at least a Masters of Finance degree before I start working.

I agree with the first answer. I would encourage you to go for your MBA in finance. Have a great day!
Reply:It is and it isn%26#039;t. Depends on what part of the financial sector you want to apply for, after college. A computer science degree is a definite plus for these institutions, but you would need to have studied some related units.





Investment banks would look for specific related units:





Quantitative Methods


Management Accounting


Economics


Capital Management/Corporate Finance.





A degree in information systems and management fits the bill, but a pure computer science degree is not a pertinent subject, unless you want a job in IT. So, your plan to do an MBA is an excellent career move. Good luck.
Reply:If you want to work in investment banking, just note that you need to attend an MBA from a top ranked program. It%26#039;s as simple as that.





Computer science is a great degree to get (assuming you%26#039;re interested in it), as it allows you real professional work experience in a major company, which is what any half-decent MBA program is going to require.
