It depends on the specific schools / departments.

Being an engineering-based program versus a program in a liberal arts college or division of a university is more likely to affect the non-CS degree requirements. For example, engineering-based programs are more likely to have additional requirements in non-CS science and/or math. General education requirements may differ as well.

But if you want to know the quality of the CS education, take a look at the actual upper level CS offerings at each school / department.
