<p>Hey, I'm going to be a rising senior, and I was looking into my future career options. I know I would like to go into business, and I'm leaning pretty much towards an accounting major. I previously wanted to try for actuarial science, but it seems a bit too 'risky' with the exams, no pun intended =).
Anyway, I was wondering what options are best in regards to a double major or minoring along with my accounting major.</p>

<p>Double Major: Accounting and Finance
Major: Accounting ; Minor: Finance
Major: Accounting ; Minor: Mathematics</p>

<p>Or any other options you guys think would be not only best for job prospects, but also a bit more enjoyable, if possible.</p>

<p>Would doing a double major with finance or even the minor in math take that many extra classes, if anyone knows? And what pros are involved with the math/finance minor or finance major?</p>

<p>I really like math, I'm not a crazy genius with it, but I enjoy the challenge. I'm also into a sort of law based or even political option with careers, and accounting has a bit of that. I know jobs are extremely hard in political science, which is why I'm not going for that.</p>

<p>Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
Thank You!!</p>

<p>Sorry didn’t even see that lol.
So doing anything with finance is totally baseless, then? </p>

<p>Also, what kind of requirements and extra courses would be involved with minoring in Computer Science? And would a math minor be of no use either, then?
Do you think a minor in political science would help in anything at all?</p>

<p>I would not do math as a minor for the same reason that I wouldn’t recommend finance as a minor, unless you are attending Univ of Penn or some other top notch finance school. Even then I think my suggetions trump finanace or math.</p>

<p>Political science might be a good choice to develop writing and reading schools particularly if your goal is to attend law school.</p>

<p>I can’t speak for the computer science requirements at your school. You need to check them out.</p>
