What is the best route for me, looking to focus in on security admin.?

So I new in the IT world, I am currently in school getting my associates in Computer Network Systems, and I also just started an internship at my current job, shadowing our IT dept. I am open to my exact future job title, I just know it will involve security.

I want to start studying for my first cert. test but am unsure which is the best? I mainly notice the mcse-security or the security+. Which is better, or is something else better? I have set a timeline for myself and i’m eager to get moving…all answers/suggestions are appreciated. thanks
