I graduated with a degree in CS. Checking back with my university they'd added a degree in Software Engineering.
CS (traditionally) is more about algorithms, limits, growth. There's a bunch of complexity in even just understanding and calculating what a computer can do.
The Software Engineering degree makes so much sense if you're studying about how libraries can be tied together, upgraded, unit/integration testing, container and source code management, etc.
They are truly different disciplines at this point.
sorry if this sounds dumb I don't have any formal education why is there a distinction?
when i hear computer science i hear the study of computers that in my head means software, hardware, and theory it's like having doctors that study humans theoretically and others that do surgery
