If you want to become a software engineer, then Computer Science is the degree to pursue.

CS program will emphasize the foundation skills – the art and science of programming. IS and IT courses will prepare you for computer systems administration, data base administration, network administration and security etc.

But your career choice is not limited by your choice of your major. If you start with Computer Science, you will have a strong foundation that you can easily steer your career track in the direction you want. So, I recommend you pursue Computer Science. By the time you graduate, and start working, you will have a much better understanding of these things and you will be in a position to steer your career in the direction of your interest.
