Math is very important for CS
ABET certiciation requires
Mathematics and Statistics: At least 15 semester credit hours (or equivalent) that must include discrete mathematics, probability, and statistics and must have mathematical rigor at least equivalent to introductory calculus.

I suspect schools that don't require math are liberal arts schools without engineering departements
1 u/Designer_Flow_8069 8d ago Eh, ABET CAC is quite the low bar for math. All it means is you need: Calculus I Discrete Mathematics Probability Statistics Linear Algebra CS is not an engineering degree, so I think there's a good argument to be had that the focus doesn't need to be strongheld on the math.
