Which Accounting Masters?

I have a 3.2 GPA from a semi-target school. Ideally, I would like to end up in investment banking or consulting, but I would also be happy starting a career at a big4 accounting firm. I'm looking into going for accounting masters programs. Would any of them give me options in IB or consulting, or should I just go for the cheapest way to make it into big4?
