I had to take a class called Numerical Methods for my math minor. It was all about the various algorithms used in math like Bezier Curves and LaGrange polynomials. I asked for an exception from my computer science department to allow me to substitute this class for one of its other 400 level classes, hoping to use the class for requirements in computer science, too. The department head refused, saying it's important to have a "well rounded" education, not one focused on math. Instead, I had to take bioinformatics to fulfill the requirement. Because that's, like, more related? My point is, there was inflexibility in what the department was willing to accept, that seemed pretty arbitrary. Perhaps allowing a broader view of computer classes would lead to a better mix of student's learning.
