It does not vary from public to private, but rather by each individual university. Private or public only defines how the university is funded - by the state or private entities. It does not have any direct effect on the academic quality, curriculum, athletics, etc.

In certain fields like engineering, they are accredited by ABET that ensures standard curriculum among all accredited institutions. Thus, engineering programs are very similar at every accredited university. I believe there is a similar accreditation board for Computer science but I can’t recall the acronym.
