If your career goal is in Finance, it would be a complete waste of time and money to get a MS in Information Systems. MIS/IS has nothing to do with a Finance career and will not help you in starting one. The only thing you should consider majoring in is Accounting or Finance (or both). Mathematics and Computer Science electives will also be very helpful just to get the attention of recruiters. And do not forget school prestige - if you do not already go to a top school, you should attempt to transfer eventually.
