Which school should I go to for an MSF in the bay area for corporate finance related jobs? There aren't really any outstanding programs... San Jose State, Santa Clara University, Golden Gate University, University of San Francisco...
Any input?

uh Berkley maybe?
Berkeley doesn't have an MSF..
Of the schools you listed, I would take Santa Clara or maybe USF.
Give us some more info on your background or motives though. If you want to do corp fin in the Bay long term, you don't necessarily have to go to school there. (I'm guessing you know that though, so there must be some sort of specific circumstances which necessitates this.)
Those schools don't sound that great. Have you thought about working for a few years, and then getting an MBA?
or even going somewhere else and networking to relocate?
For f500 corp finance, many times you don't even need industry experience. my uncle worked for a f50 and they weren't hiring "college hires," yet i still got an offer for a sr financial analyst role. He himself was in a different Finance group, and was just a manager, not a VP/Director or anything, but he still did sway that decison. Don't spend 80k on an MSF for a job that only pays 65k in my opinion.......
