I mean I'm guessing the answer would be no you can't but I figure it would be worth asking anyway

I am not sure about the requirements for a finance degree, but a good idea would be to check the requirements for a major in applied math. Differential equations (ordinary and partials), numerical analysis, and second year linear algebra & calculus are absolutely essential in applied math. For quantitative analysis, it would be a good idea to have knowledge of financial mathematics and C++.
