So I'am on Indeed looking at network admin positions. Now what has me confused is the titles say 'Network Administrator' but the requirements say MCSE, and not CCNA. I know MCSE is associated with an systems administrator. I found around 4 Network admin titles, but the requirements say MCSE, is this a mess up, by whoever posted the job?

Sometimes, company use "Network Administrator" for "Administrator of a Network of Computers". And if the computers happen to run MS, they look for MS certified folks...
Well I recently graduated this summer, and a friend of mine graduates in 2015 from a different school. We're both majoring in Network administration, but he said he was taking programming classes like C++, visual and more, which I found odd. Below is my school courses I took, and the second list are his courses. Every job I looked at on indeed doesn't ask for programming at all. So I wonder if he would have a advantage over me though.
My school Core Courses: Full Network admin degree
CIS 171 Fundamentals of Unix/Linux I
CIS 201 Intro to Computer Programming Concepts
CIS 255 Java Programming
CIS 267 Enterprise Virtualization
CIS 268 Software Support
CIS 269 Hardware Support

CIS 271 Cisco II
CIS 272 Cisco III
CIS 273 Cisco IV

CIS Electives (Choose from CIS 214, 246, 282, 283,

his looks more like a trade school degree path (think ITT) yours looks almost like a cross between a CS degree and a trade school. neither look like a 4yr degree.
