I think the maths-in-programming topic is a bit of a distraction. To be blunt, general programming doesn't need any university-level mathematics at all, assuming a decent pre-university maths education. On the other hand, specialist programming in mathematical fields typically needs specialist mathematics of at least masters level, which surely no CS undergrad course is going to cover because not even good maths undergrad courses do.
