No not really , it's much easier to learn stuff like a minor in pyschology to give diversity but at the end of the day a bootcamp is just that much , sure you can do the basics , but with a cs degree you've spent 4 years just on computer science and nothing else , the amount of knowledge you get especially because you are around people ( most of them ) who are passionate about computer science as well , interpersonal skills can be developed much easier ( ie drama clubs social clubs , just interacting a lot , organizing events etc) and sure computer science is a subject that can be leaned online but what you get at a college is irreplaceable, thus there is reason people prefer engineers with a cs degree , at the end of the day sure bootcamp people will learn eventually by the time which cs students would have learned much more
