Your undergraduate degree can be in Basket Weaving. It has absolutely no relevance to IPO’s, LBO’s, M&A, Venture Capitol, etc.

What IS important is your undergraduate grades and LSAT scores. If you are ultimately seeking a Wall Street, International, law firm, you will have to graduate from a top law school, with honors, Law Review after 2 summers of internships in a top law firm.

You may want to investigate 6 year BA/JD programs as a cost saving measure or just have the goal and go for it in college.
