"Although there is much overlap with an MBA, the MSF provides a broader and deeper exposure to finance, but more limited exposure to general management topics. Thus, an MSF focuses on finance and financial markets, while an MBA, by contrast, is more diverse, covering general aspects of business not dealt with in the MSF - such as human resource management and operations management. Note that an MBA without a specialization in finance will not have covered many of the topics dealt with in the MSF (breadth), and - often even where there is specialization - those areas that are covered may be in less depth. (Some MBA candidates will "dual major" with an MBA/MSF, or later pursue an MSF degree, to gain specialized finance knowledge; some universities also offer this combination as a joint degree.) "

The MBA is a broad general degree that trains you for management in any area of an organization. The MS is narrowly focussed in its field and trains you for high level staff positions, often involving research and analysis but not management. So a lot depends on your career goals. You can use the Official MBA Guide, a free service, to locate suitable MBA programs.
