RE: SE OR MS
If for some reason you can't do both then fall back on the one option that will allow you to broaden your knowledge, increase the tools in your structural toolbox, and give you more confidence to take on an array of structures. Go for the MSCE or MSE.
Collectively, the SE exam is merely one exam that with the right combination of experience, coursework, and hard work on your part you can pass. That said, you need to be aware that most SE states require that you have a certain number of structural courses before taking. In many cases, pending your BSCE work, you cannot fullfill these requirements. Not unless all your electives were structural in nature. So there may be some going back to school just to take the SE.
Looking back on it myself, I would not have done it any differently. Both were a huge boost, but the MS was far more valuable.
Good Luck.

RE: SE OR MS
Or are you deliberating between a Masters degree in either Civil or Structural engineering?
RE: SE OR MS
in our country we have a licensure exam for civil engineering. Then its our own choice if we want to continue studying for a major field (at least 2 years) then we will have another licensure exam. For example, if we want to take the route to become structural engineer we have to study for at least two years then we will have to take another structural exam to have the SE title. So if you pass it you will have two sets of license, you are a CE and SE.
My boss advised me to advance my study by taking Master's or Structural Engineering. It's for my advantage of course. But im in the fog of doubt whether i will get an SE or Master's because I don't know what will be the advantage of having a master's degree than a Structural degree
