Best college major for FP&A?

What's the best college major if I eventually want to get a T10 part-time MBA and work in F500 FP&A? Out of all other business majors, I'm interested in MIS the most, but I'm not sure if it would be useful for FP&A. Any suggestions?

 

When I was interning in corp fin almost everybody on the FP&A team had an accounting background and had CPA's and a few MBA's. There was even one analyst that came in through hospitality consulting. This was at a blue-chip tech company though, so I don't know how applicable it is to the big leagues. From my experience, I think you can go with just about any business department major that gives you at least some accounting skills.
