As the title suggests, I'd like to know if there is a way in BASIC to detect if a program is being run on a TI 84 Plus CE or CSE.
Jonbush had a good idea of using execution time to tell, but I didn't know if there was an alternative solution.
My suggestion would be screed size but I don't know if there the same.
Why would you need to know there might be another solution to your problem.

Sorry, I kind of had a hard time reading this. I think this is what you said.

Yes, the CSE and CE have the same screen size and resolution. This trick only works when comparing if the program is being run on a monochrome calculator or a color screen.

Although comparing execution time is a good idea, I wouldn't think it'd be the fastest option nor the most ideal since the timing could be different depending on what you've done to your calculator (i.e. reduce wait states). Maybe there is some BASIC code routine I've forgotten about that would be better suited.

You could use textlib by DrDnar, then run this code in your program.
Code:
{20:Asm(prgmTEXTLIB
Ans
Ans will be 4 if on the CSE, or 5 if on the CE.
(However, you need different versions of textlib to run on the CSE versus the CE... so would end up being more confusing than helpful to the user when you upload your program, unless you would expect the user to already have textlib on their calculator)
