I never studied any type of math, but I was always great at logic, taking at least a half dozen philosophy and theology courses throughout my univeristy experience. I did take a few programming classes in place of several math courses, just to avoid mathematics... I think my highest math class was Algebra II. I didn't go the route of a computer science major because I didn't care about trigonometry or calculus classes, though still managed to land a science degree of psychology. I can see why college cirriculums may require computer science to have certain math courses, but if you can figure out the logic of how things work, you can get out of math courses and still be a programmer ;)
