A two semester sequence in Biology, Chemistry, or Physics is pretty typical for a CS student. What is surprising is that you are permitted to take algebra based physics as opposed to physics with calculus. Are you getting a B.S. or a B.A. (as that may explain why)? Both physics and biology have applications in CS. Chemistry is probably the least relevant but not entirely useless by any means. If you have an interest in game development then physics would be a good choice.

Oh, and I took two semesters of biology because I thought it would be the most interesting (turns out I thought most of it was boring). I was also required to take two additional science electives with a broader choice of classes. I ended up taking a year of geology because they were the easiest classes I could pick from and the rest of my schedule was stacked with math and CS classes.
