UC Irvine: https://www.informatics.uci.edu/undergrad/bs-software-engine...

Penn State: https://behrend.psu.edu/school-of-engineering/academic-progr...

Those three schools are > 30k students each.

It is generally called something else.

The modern day web dev degree is called "Information Systems". Top schools offer it, but it is generally looked down upon as the degree that people take who couldn't get into Computer Science.

There are plenty, but they're mostly graduate degree programs. A full undergraduate degree in software engineering is probably impractical, as it were.

CMU offers a minor in Soft. Eng. It requires 6 courses (one is fluff) and a minimum 8 week internship in industry. What's also good about this CMU minor is that it's open to students of any major.
