Baruch Masters in Finance Review?

How good is this programme?

Worth it for international students? Will supplementing the degree with a CFA help?

Any other MSc Econ/Finance programmes that you would recommend for an international student planning to attend fresh out of college?

PS. I realise that BB IB's are almost impossible but what about all the mid-market IB's in NY or other Firms which are not so rigid in their hiring like the BB's? Good IB experience in NY will be highly valued in my home country (India) if I ever have to return. Interested in Equity Research in Investment Banking roles mainly.
