University Of San Francisco Masters of Science in Financial Analysis (MSFA)
Anyone with valuable info about this program chime in! Came across this program, looks decent. How does this compare to a MSF program? @TNA maybe you can give some insight
If not wrong @TNA" said something on his blog

I'm considering MSFA of USF for fall semester 2013. Any one here know the chance to get into IBD in San Francisco after I graduate? Assume that I have CFA lv2 because I already pass lv1 and want to take lv2 when studying in USF. Thanks.
Go to Santa Clara. Better brand and I think the program will suit you better.
I've heard that Santa Clara is rolling out an MSF program. Definitely better brand but it's new, do they have lots of alumni in IBD? More than that I look on core curriculum, it look slightly like MBA program than traditional MSF with 49 credits.
USF isn't going to do anything for you. At least SCU gives you a shot.
Ok. Thanks for your advice.
I'm questioning that does CFA have any mean for IBD? Seem it would help a lot with AM. Do u know any source I can use to expose in IBD?
Your conclusion is right. It won't hurt, but it's geared towards PM, AM.
I really don't think either of them are worth the money/time IF you're looking for BB banking jobs. Speaking from experience: San Francisco offices take 7 SAs each year, and have no shortage of Berkeley/UCLA/USC/Stanford grads with 3.7+ and boutique IB internships that have been gunning for these jobs since high school. This isn't even counting the kids from the East Coast looking to come back to the Bay Area after graduation (of which there are many) or break into tech, which is hot right now. I've never met a Santa Clara/USF undergrad in any of my super days, or met any alums in any of the BBs either. The teams are small, and competition is really high for these jobs, which means it's a lot harder for non-targets to get in and there's no reason for banks to expand their OCR.
Your time would be much better spent working in something else and networking, or maybe trying to jump in post-MBA.
