How important does one think the exact name of a degree is? Suppose a student had a BASc in Software Engineering (Bachelor of Applied Science, somewhat common in Canada) or a student with a BSE degree (Bachelor of Software Engineering, as awarded by, say Waterloo), would you perceive the students differently? Do you know of instances where this may have affected a student in a job search or in grad school admissions?

In general, we try to be cautious about creating new tags - see When should I create new tags?. Having a large number of overly specific tags makes it harder to group questions, and makes it harder for new users to find appropriate tags for their question.– ff524Commented May 28, 2017 at 2:54

The students would be perceived the same. When applying for a graduate program, you submit your transcripts. The classes you took, your letters of recommendation, and your grades would be more important than the name of your degree.
