New user intro. / education question

Hi all,
I am a twenty year old junior at Pacific University, a small liberal arts University west of Portland with an up and coming, but still very young business school. I am currently a Finance major but am weighing my options of double majoring in accounting and/or minoring in econ. If I am able to finish in four years with an accounting finance double major I think that would obviously be best. However if I would have to extend my education another year I'm not sure if it would be worth it. My school is just launching a Masters in Science of Finance grad program that interests me quite a bit that I could start the August after I graduate and be done in June (10 month program). The program would also allow me to work full time while I am enrolled. My career aspirations are to be a financial analyst and work my way up. My questions for you guys are, should I make it a priority to get the double major in accounting and should I go to grad school for the MSF right out of college at the same school I am attending undergrad or should I look elsewhere for my graduate education?
Thank you guys for all your input.
Jordan
