In order to study for CFA, you probably can get a Master in Finance. But a CFA is worth more than the master in finance. www.HigherEdSpace.com

They are basically viewed as quite similar, in fact many M.Fin. programs I had looked at will prep you for the first level CFA during the program. To me, it comes down to what you would be doing otherwise. A M.Fin is a full time commitment, while you can fit a full time job around CFA studying alone. A friend of mine did that, studying for the CFA while working full time. If you have a well paying job, I would study for the CFA alone, but if you don't have a well paying job I would do the M.Fin. Of course, you would have to look at your own personal circumstances to determine which route is better for you.
