<p>University of Illinois’s degree in structural engineering is technically an “MS in Civil Engineering” and then you say that your concentration was in structural engineering but nobody calls it that. They just say you got a masters in structural engineering from Illinois. You apply to the structural engineering program, you go through the structural engineering program, you have very little contact with anybody outside of the structural engineering program… It’s a structural engineering degree.</p>
<p>So yeah, if it’s something like that, it’s okay. Just make sure you truthfully represent the general nature of your degree and correctly imply what your competencies are. If you got an MS where most of your classes were in water resources and you took a lone concrete class for giggles, you can’t paint yourself as a structural engineer.</p>
