<p>I am thinking about doing computational finance as my major but I am not sure if it is relevant to computer science</p>
<p>If you enjoy computer science and finance, you should definitely do computational finance but just a forewarning, it literally only stands out for a company that deals with it, for example, without experience, you wont have enough computer science experience/credit to work as a computer scientist nor enough finance to work as an investment banker.</p>
<p>As for applied math, it really isnt a marketable major for any field other than math professor. I mean if you really enjoy it and network well, you could get a job don’t get me wrong but for most occupations, it’s too broad to get you past any HR gatekeepers because they will look for certain degrees for interviews and applied math isn’t one of them.</p>
<p>Finance is probably the best of those three if you are wanting a finance/business job. If you really want a computer science/finance job, you are better off doing a duel-major of computer science and finance. It will give you the background for both occupations and a computational finance occupation.</p>
