IIRC, there was a study done in the last 10 years or so that found that there was a relationship between the type of degree, and how important the social or “prestige” component needed to be successful in a given field. The rough trend was that success with STEM degrees was less reliant on the prestige of the institution where it was acquired, whereas arts/humanities degrees required prestigious institutions (and the connections that they afforded) in order to attain prominent positions in some time period after graduating. |

STEM degrees are way more standardized too. Good CS degrees are pretty much all the same in terms of content, from Stanford to State U and abroad. Same textbooks used universities for most classes (maybe a localized translation by a local professor).
