Aren't there Chemistry and Chemical Engineering degrees?  You can even
go to schools and pick whether to get a BA or BS in Computer Science.
Obviously CS and SE degrees would overlap.  Heck, CS and EE degrees
overlap to an extent.  But CS and SE programs can deviate enough to
warrant separate degrees.
