<p>While obviously there is some difference between an MBA program that is strong in finance, and a pure finance-only graduate program (i.e. a PhD in Finance), I doubt that the difference is going to be large. If your MBA program is good in Finance, your Finance PhD program is probably going to be pretty good.</p>

<p>Then, I was wondering what major is the best option for finance grad.
These are my options in undergrad.</p>

<p>: Double majoring in math and econ.
: having a finance undergraduate degree
: Double majoring in math and something else, (such as Chemistry)</p>

<p>Which one is the best choice for undergraduate student?</p>

<p>Well, I'm majoring in econ with minors in stats and accounting.</p>

<p>I'm hoping that's going to give me an edge. And if you're interested in taking the CFA Exams, this combination should help.</p>
