Econ Double Major - Consulting purposes

I'm a Bioengineer, and with the number of AP credits I have, I can graduate early (3 years total). However, I'm also considering doing the traditional 4 year plan and adding a double major in Economics. For consulting purposes, is the Econ major worth the extra year?
