BSBA Finance vs BS Econ

The non-target state school I am attending next year offers a BSBA with an emphasis in Finance but not a regular BS. They do however offer a BS in Economics that is "designed for students who plan to attend graduate school in Economics, Finance, or related fields". Looking at the course plans I noticed that the BSBA in Finance is a lot less math-intensive than the BS in Econ. Unfortunately, I've moved multiple times throughout HS which butchered my GPA and chances into getting a better school so my plan is to try and get into at least a semi-target graduate school after undergrad. If I wanted to pursue a Masters in Finance after regardless of what degree I chose, which would be more helpful for getting into grad school, the BSBA Finance or BS Econ?
