BA/MA in Econ or BA in Econ/Math

Hello. So I currently attend a semi-target school (BU, some might say is not semi-target but whatever). I am currently pursuing a joint-degree in Economics/Math. My dilemma is that I can apply for the BA/MA in Econ accelerated program where I would obtain my BA in Econ/Math and MA in econ. Or, I can simply take pursue the Econ/Math but take a greater variety of courses towards the field I want to pursue (S&T, Risk, more quant fields). If I did the BA/MA the courses would be slightly more geared towards econ theory.

So I was wondering what would be the better option for someone trying to break into S&T.

Cheers.
