Other than telling him not to try to do this (which I'm sure others will say), Computer Science is programming focused and will give him the skills to get a job in the field, though there might be more specialized majors popping up now, it's been a bit since I was in college.

Oh that's right, high math reqs, my school you needed calc 3 and possibly differential equations, I dropped out of the program after finishing calc 3 though because I decided coding wasn't for me.

Ornithology posted:Not all programming requires a focus on math skills. I took a college course on systems design instead of the usual university CS degree path, and it didn't require much math skills at all. However, with game programming if you plan to get into physics engines or graphics programming that's pretty math oriented. And a CS degree requires a bunch of pure math courses regardless of where you want to focus your skills (not sure why - a lot of it doesn't seem relevant to most programming jobs out there). CS is a general programming degree though, hence why it drives up those math reqs with calc 3 and harder stuff. Honestly, even if you don't get dropped into a job that uses it, it's still useful to have that foundation because maybe your next job will need it.
