It depends. But you will notice a huge difference in the reaction of someone who learns you went to Berkeley than if they learned you went to SF State or Irvine. Doesn't mean those schools are bad, people are just biased.
A Computer Science degree is kind of a benchmark. It's really what you do that matters. If you make a significant contribution to the linux kernel, you could have gone to community college and astute employers would still be impressed. Or you could distinguish yourself by publishing research papers as an undergraduate.
When it comes down to it, though, if you are just looking to get a job then experience is the key. Getting internships programming in popular languages is a good idea. There is a list on the web somewhere that contains languages used by employers in percentages.
