Why not just do engineering? Computer or electrical engineering? You get tons of math, programming, and can still do modeling if you really, really wanted to. Places like GE, Siemens, etc. etc. all do that kind of stuff in their R and D departments to research new imaging technologies and instruments.



CS majors have better job prospects (assuming both the CS and CE/EE are from a good school).

Do an Applied math major, or a CS major with math minor, etc. You want to show that you’re not just a code monkey and have mathematical chops. However, you don’t necessarily need a PhD.
