1. MBA is better known then a Master of Science in Finance - it is highly dependent on your future and your previous background. If you had a technical undergraduate degree such as accounting or finance, a MBA will give you flexibility. Two technical degrees (bachelor or master) will most likely pigeonhole you into a certain set of related occupations.
2. Carnegie Mellon is well known for a highly quantitative degree. Computational Finance is a rigorous course in mathematics and financial models. The CM degree is great if you are interested in Wall Street and quantitiative firms.
