MS is Software Engineering is one of the best degree if you are looking for a highly industry oriented course.

As far as MS CS is concerned that is more leaned towards Theoretical knowledge such as O/S, Networking, Computer Architecture, Compiler Design and so on but when it comes to Software Engineering mostly courses are based on practical and applied knowledge such as Data Structures, Algorithma, Computational Coding and so on.

For instance i MS Software Engineering at George Mason consist working professionals in their batch mostly that's why classes timing are from afternoon to evening so that professionals can manage Office and Classes together, by this I guess you can predict the industry oriented level of MS SE at GMU,

Similarly MS Software Engineering from SJSU is designed in a way keeping current IT market in mind that's why when it comes to no.of apple employee SJSU surpasses even Stanford, MIT, CMU, etc.

Hope the answer of the question.
