MS in Computer Science or Software Engineering?

I recently graduated with a B.S. in Mathematics (minor in applied statistics). I'm looking into a Master's program, and I'm considering an MS in Computer Science or in Software Engineering.

Other than the one computer science course (C++) I took in undergrad, I don't really have programming experience but I'm planning to learn on my own.

Given my undergrad degree, I'm afraid this will put me at a disadvantage if I choose SWE. Which degree is more flexible and has greater job opportunities?

Also, I started with C++, should I continue learning this language or start with something simpler? I heard Java is easier.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
