It depends on what you want to do. Do you want to just monitor tools running production? Do you want to actively work on the tools in the fab? Want to be a process engineer? Be a device design engineer? Work in process development? Each is different...a college degree will never hurt and a master's is pretty normal for fab engineers and a PhD for process developers. As for schools it definitely depends in a similar way, but most top technical schools will get you recruited. A standout is Rochester institute of technology which has an undergrad degree in microelectronics.
