Isn't it normal to study mathematics in a computer science bachelor program in USA?

That country never ceases to astonish me lol.

They run degree mill programs because their universities are for profit.

Most universities are not for profit at least the ones that are considered any good.

FWIW, any accredited CS degree program in the US will have rigorous math and science requirements: https://www.abet.org/accreditation/accreditation-criteria/cr...

I don't think it was worded very well, but I think the parent comment was saying, "the bulk of CS can be covered in a masters program, so take an undergrad degree that has the same overlap in math/science, but a different focus". I'm not sure I agree, spreading the absorption of that knowledge over 4 years can be beneficial.

I like how you don't know the answer but then just assume anyway lol

Guess the standards in your country for logic must be really low lol

USA never ceases to astonish me regardless of the presence of compulsory mathematics courses in computer science programs. I guess you didn't take logic :)

That shows what one university out of thousands does? How does this answer the question in any meaningful way?
