Advice on whether I should do an MSF

I'm about to graduate from a reputable school with math and economics for my undergrad, and I've taken basic accounting courses and a basic finance course, as well as I've passed actuarial exams in probability, financial math, and investments and financial markets. I changed career goals middle of senior year, so now I'm trying to get into portfolio management.

I got accepted into the MSF program at my school and am planning to do that, but before I accept, I want to make sure that an MSF will help me get into asset management and eventually become a portfolio manager and will be worth the cost. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
