i think that is the way it is at most schools.... but i'm not sure if that says more about the amount of math CS majors have to take, or the amount of math (or lack thereof) it takes to get a math minor. in general though, i think CS majors take more discrete mathematics and CE majors take more calculus. makes sense.
but if you're in CS, you should want to take math classes anyways. basically all of computer science is rooted in mathematics after all. unless you're one of those "hands-on" type of guys that doesn't really care about theory
