Is not a masters degree but The Gnomon School (http://www.gnomonschool.com/) or Vancouver Film School (http://www.vfs.com/) have great programs. I'm a graduate from the DAVE School (http://daveschool.com/) and I'll totally recommend it.

And is dis the correct choice . . joining now in the visual effects schools and start learning the stuff , as i was working in production already .

nope - its not very useful in my opinion. i was facing the same question in the past and I decided to move forward in in real production instead of getting some kind of bachelor degree or even a master. What you need is working with professionals, gaining experience, gathering stuff for your reel etc. ...not a degree with marks.

As I have said before there is a really good VFX School in Vancouver Canada called Lost Boys Studios - School of VFX.

I have to say in my experience not all school are created equal. I have had several friends that have attended VFX schools ( I will not name names but they are the big players, you know who they are) and wasted a lot of money. Three of those friends transfer to Lost Boys Studios - School of VFX ( after spending too much money on the others school ) and they finally received a good education at Lost Boys and are now working in the industry. I wish I had known so I could have saved them the time and money in the first place. So, if you are looking for a really good VFX school please check them out. Careful of the bigger schools, bigger doesn't always mean better.

It depends partly on where you want to live, in the UK the 2 best are Bournemouth which leans more towards scripting and then Hertfordshire which is the uni i'm at, which focuses more on the art and colour theories, we've got a forum over at www.3dhit.co.uk where we all post up work and all our tutors are on there as well if you've got any questions.
