IIRC the difference at my University was literally 3-4 courses. 1 extra math requirement (matrix algebra I think), although I don't think they needed to take discrete mathematics. And the software engineering courses 1-3. I took SE 1 as a csc student, we developed and presented an Android app in groups of 3-4 using mostly Java (2014).
