关于美国两所学校的选择问题，请高手指点

目前有两所学校的硕士学位可供选择，第一个是旧金山大学的金融分析专业（加速），一年学制，寒暑假、周末不休集中学习一年毕业。第二个是纽约的霍夫斯特拉大学，金融学，两年。
目的是回国工作。去旧金山的优势在于一年就可以回来，而且省不少钱。但是没有时间实习，还怕一年制的国内的企业不承认。而读霍夫斯特拉大学的话，可能会有实习机会，而且两年制应该会更加被国内认可。但同时担心，国外的硕士学位不管一年还是两年在目前的形势下找工作恐怕都是一样的，这样去纽约多花那么多钱就不值得了。。

问题比较繁琐，还望高手指点。有好的建议，赠送一百论坛币。。。不胜感激~~

I f I were you, I would take the Hofstra University program, provided I could afford the tuition. No doubt, NYC is the financial center of the US, and you would have much more opportunities to find positions (summer intern, or permanent) in finance and other related areas in NYC than in San Francisco area. Hofstra is in Long Island, which is only a short subway ride to Manhattan (around 1 hour or so). And livining(food & housing) cost in Long Island is probably similar if not cheaper than in SFO. A lot of people working in Manhattan (including Wall street) actually live in Long Island and commute to Manhattan daily.
   Although USF is also a decent university, it is famous for its medical school. Silicon valley nearby offers more opportunies for IT guys. The Financial Analysis Graduate Program at USF is geared towards getting the CFA designation. In my opinion, working experience in financial industry counts more than a simple CFA title. And I know several Chinese studendts without any formal finance training pass their CFA exams easily by self-study.  
    The US economy seems to have bottomed out and is on its way to recovery. Two years is relatively long time. Take Hofstra if you can afford it. My two cents.
