Why isn't software engineering as popular as Computer science?

Software engineering is a popular field now a days and yet a lot of colleges still don't offer it.. its always Computer Science. I mean its not llike Software engineering isn't a legit field of study, I mean some colleges offer it, why do you supppose not a lot of them?Why isn't software engineering as popular as Computer science?
I would say the main reason is that universities tend to teach towards more academic degrees. This isn't to say software engineering isn't academic, but it certainly is more in a step towards an industry. Universities are meant more to give academic bases rather than condition you for a specific industry.



Many technical schools and engineering colleges offer software engineering. Also, most computer science degrees contain within it software engineering classes, but also spend a lot of time on things such as architecture, gates, assembly, algorithms, theory, science, etc. that might not pertain as much to a software engineer.



Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that computer science is MUCH more mathematically oriented than software engineering. It is only 3 more courses for me to double major in computer science and applied math.
