I got a degree in Biochemistry. I hadn't taken _any_ programming classes when I graduated. My first biotech job had me learn some LabView and R. Over the next year I took a night class in python, and got my job from that.

So yeah. I highly recommend learning CS while you can! CS is a field where your ability to code is much more important than pieces of paper.
