Master's Programs for going into consulting?

I am considering applying for master's programs in economics/applied econometrics or finance. Still a bit until I graduate but I'm doing some early research. 

Are there any econ masters that place particularly well into consulting, ideally econ consulting? Or should I skip it as a whole and get an MBA later on?
