In my opinion, a degree is supposed to make you very well-rounded in the specific area (in this case SWE/CS). If a student wants to pursue a career in academia or scientific computing, knowledge in calculus, linear algebra, analytic geometry, etc. will come in handy.
In my country (Eastern Europe) specifically, a bachelor’s in computer science can also allow you to get accepted into master’s and potentially a PhD program in mathematics or physics.
