With one exception, my favorite CS classes, by the test of which ones engaged me and changed my trajectory later in my career, had no programming. One was a sequence of classes about logic and set theory, the other distributed computing. The latter in particular has come up again and again and again as a blind spot for coworkers, many of whom did finish their degree or even a masters. I got much more vocational coding in than the vast majority of my classmates before I dropped out, and not all of the theoretical stuff has been applicable. But what was has been invaluable.
