I am a Computer Science major and I somewhat agree with what you say. They require too much math and should require more programming. Sure there is a lot of programming courses you have to take, but I really wish they would substitute more programming courses for all the fucking math. Math is important, but Calculus, Calc 2, Linear Algebra, Discrete Math, etc.?
Any Computer Science major after 1 year ought to be able to learn PHP fast and be able to write a script for what most people want easily. PHP is cake compared to C++ and if you know C++, then it's even easier, because PHP is similar.
PHP isn't really taught as part of a Computer Science degree anyway. That would be more part of some web development or web programming, 2 year degree or something.
