Aiming for MSFinance or M.A.Econ (double major w/ MATH or will a minor suffice?)

Well, ROS isn’t suggesting you double major, but perhaps major in Math and get a solid grounding in Econ, but not so far as a major. I don’t know if I completely agree with that, since it’s fairly easy to remove the fat as it were from the math courses you aren’t going to need; if you go the math major route you’re more than likely going to be saddled with algebra, perhaps some geometry and number - courses which are pointless for what you want to do.

Perhaps if LB has an applied math track that might be an option (especially if any of the instructors have a math-finance background - as one of ours did).
