You can become a programmer without anything at all. I went to Uni for Music and Math... what matters is you want to be a programmer. Pick up a few programming languages relevant to a project you can write as a demo of currently relevant technologies. Do a couple of paid or unpaid internships to figure out what business really requires because lord knows they don't teach much of that at college or university. Get references from your tutors and relevant people (example: Team Lead, Managers and Directors) at your internships and start applying for programming jobs. Congratulations, you are now a programmer. Despite what people will tell you, you don't need a degree certificate to get a job. What you can demonstrate you've done and who will vouch for you goes a lot further than a bit of paper. Learn everything you can from your course, the education will surely be useful at some point but don't get hung up on what the degree is or where the bit of paper is from. The most relevant thing you have by taking the course is open access to material, tutors and staff that you can pepper with questions to your hearts content.
