BS Software Development soon to become Software Engineering

Do you mean from an employer or from a knowledge point of view? In general, employers will likely be oblivious to details like that. They will simply look at the name of the degree, and maybe whether they recognise the name of the school.

However, I think both courses are valuable to a software engineer. Not so much because you will use calculus every day, you probably won't. However, some engineers do and I know I would hate to feel that there were jobs or tasks I was locked out of. I also know that the sheer volume of algebra needed to work calculus solidified my algebra and trig skills. Much the same with discreet math, you can probably get by without it, but having a good knowledge of boolean algebra will make some coding logic easier to write or understand.
