What path is needed to become a quantitative finance major?

<p>I know you need some programming, engineering, physics etc. but what path should I take. I am most likely going to grinnell and I could double major in math and economics or physics and economics but what would I do after that? Or is there a better route? I know this has been discussed before but i haven't found a thread answering this question. </p>

<p>Try dual majoring in cs and finance (or something close like economics with finance concentration). After that apply for internships and google for interview guides.</p>

<p>Yeah but I also heard what you need a phd in either math, engineering, or physics. Is that true also? I just want to get my facts straight so I know what I’m getting into and what I should plan for. </p>

<p>Anyone? Does it matter if I would go for a physics or math phd? Is one better than the other? </p>
