The CS program should focus more on data structures and algorithms (and possibly UX and good ol' software dev as well) and the DS program should focus more on statistical/analytical methods and their particular nuances and limitations. If the DS program is done well, with a lot of stats classes, then it is not a weaker program.

I don't need yet another drone that tries to convince me I should make a business decision because of "statistical significance" but can't explain why I should care about statistical significance (p.s. I shouldn't).
