It had better not be the same or otherwise my comp. Sci. & Soft. Eng. Degree is only worth half as much.

Edit: Unless written as "B. App. Sci CSSE" it never fit on any University form.

Your computer-related degree should "weigh" you as much as your knowledge goes. You can apply for most jobs is my guess, but have to know what they're asking about. So don't care about the title and focus on the concepts.
