> probability, calculus, linear algebra

All of these are mandatory in EU universities' CS programmes and are taught with relative rigor, particularly linear algebra. Calculus is called "Analysis" and usually covers all of Calc I plus a bit of Calc II.

In what way are those undergraduate degrees any less narrowing of scope than a CS undergraduate degree?

They aren't, but your specialist knowledge draws from two disciplines.

If you undergrad is in CS, your specialist knowledge is in one discipline exclusively.

Isn't it normal to study mathematics in a computer science bachelor program in USA?

That country never ceases to astonish me lol.

FWIW, any accredited CS degree program in the US will have rigorous math and science requirements: https://www.abet.org/accreditation/accreditation-criteria/cr...

I don't think it was worded very well, but I think the parent comment was saying, "the bulk of CS can be covered in a masters program, so take an undergrad degree that has the same overlap in math/science, but a different focus". I'm not sure I agree, spreading the absorption of that knowledge over 4 years can be beneficial.

They run degree mill programs because their universities are for profit.

Most universities are not for profit at least the ones that are considered any good.
