MSF vs MS Commerce

How does UVA's MS in Commerce compare to a MS in Finance from a school like Vanderbilt or Texas at Austin? Does the UVA brand give an advantage during recruiting despite the less focused curriculum?

Thanks for the reply TNA. Do you know any more about how they compare? Do recruiters look at the MS Commerce the same way? For some info I am a non-business undergrad hoping to work in Money Management in the South.
