It depends on the style of the college. Computer Science is certainly much more than math. I'd sooner employ a CS major who took foreign languages than one who supplemented his coursework with tons of math classes. Those special/practical degrees that schools offer are just fluff and end up pigeonholing you. If you're going to be a software developer, then computer science is the degree that's most helpful.

I'm not an expert on all colleges in america, it sounds like I came across as thinking that way so I apologize. Right or not, the Computer Science courses at the University I was enrolling in (I ended up dropping out of college due to life issues) was 60% math 30% computer theory and 10% programming. I know, because I talked with the Department Chair and actually studied what the degree would do for me before deciding it was my path. I was fully aware i'd need to work on practical projects in my free time to get a job.

Instead, I just got a job by showing off said practical projects with no degree.
