My undergraduate degree is in Computer Science, which at the time I attended the university was (if one was doing their degree in the College of Arts and Sciences vs. School of Engineering) in the math department. In the end I ended up going further than I would have naturally (just by the nature of department requirements).
First response to this question would be "what kind of math"? In terms of continuous math, I've topped out at Differential Equations (much like any other CS Major). In terms of discrete mathematics I topped out at abstract algebra (the first class that made me sigh with relief upon seeing actual numbers) and combinatorics. I felt that I could certainly go on further in the discrete field (I particularly regret not taking number theory - other than what I've learned in cryptography courses - and graph theory).
I could have received a Math major, but that would have required taking the analysis series (real and complex), which I felt would go beyond my level of abilities (particularly since I was aiming for an early graduation and wanted to take as much of classes that I felt would interest me more).
