My college has a separate major for each.

A lot of people in my class dropped out of the CS program because they had confused the two.

I really think we should rename “computer science” to “computing science” or “computational science” - just please get the word “computer” out of there.

Discrete Mathematics is the actual term “integers, graphs and statements in logic” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_mathematics
But you generally can’t get a degree in it (I don’t believe I’ve seen one). But wow, a discrete mathematics undergrad degree sounds like a lot of fun.
