(need suggestions) about which program I should choose (MASTER)-Fordham (thanks)

This year, Fordham business school creates many new programs:like MBA in advanced applied finance, and MS in business analysis

Initially, I apply for the MSQF 2012 fall. But, last week, the director from MS program tells me that I cannot be admitted by MSQF program. But, he just listed other programs. And said that if I agree to convert program to another, I will be reviewed again.

There are two programs that I am considering. One is MBA in advanced applied finance. The other is MS in business analysis.

I reagrd being a financial analyst with CFA as my target.

I need some suggestions about which program I should choose...

PS; Can anyone provides some information about these two programs(in the internet, I do not find anything about them)?

Guys, don't encourage this.

1.) Drop Fordham. Fordham is a decent Catholic school and there are a lot of smart people, especially in undergrad there. However, if you can get into Fordham, you can get into Rutgers, SUNY, Baruch, or UW Madison. Unless you are a devout Catholic or interested in doing a JD with your MBA, you probably don't want to do your MBA there.

2.) Save $100K and do your MBA at a state school.

3.) Avoid paying $500/month in extra debt service or get about $400/month in dividends from your investments.

 

Paying for a Fordham MBA is the dumbest waste of time and money. Horrible overall ranking and a non-target school. I see pictures of people holding up a Fordham MBA certificate and it's incredibly sad and funny at the same time

+1 on dropping Fordham ASAP
