Is this masters degree worth it?

I'm currently a senior studying finance at a non target state school and would like to break into Asset Management, the only problem is there's virtually no OCR at my school (not even F500).

I was looking into my options and I know sitting for the CFA L1 this December wouldn't be a bad idea, but I also saw Temple University offers a Master's of Science in Investment Management. I was curious to see if anyone on here has any opinion on it regarding if it's worth it and if it'll actually help me break in.
