The difference between a software dev degree and a comp. sci degree.


I've never heard of or seen a Software Development bachelors degree?

I've seen Information Systems programs, that are usually CE, after-hours tracks. Neither Harvard, Yale, nor MIT have a software dev one, just Comp. Sci. I'm calling BS (no pun intended) on "software dev degrees" as a thing distinct from CS in any widespread fashion.
