@AnnieBot From what I’ve heard from @AccCreate

"CS is not entirely programming. It leads to software jobs after graduation but many times, there will be CS courses (especially theoretical) that are very math intensive. After all, CS until fairly recently used to be in the Applied Math department. And even now in places like MIT, the theoretical CS side is in the math department, not the CS department.

I haven’t been really “programming” in any of my college courses outside my first semester or two. That’s how much “programming” that can happen in a CS degree. Of course if you are more interested in the software side, you are more likely to be programming more than me as I spent majority of my CS degree with writing proofs / doing abstract computations."
