This is untrue. Computer Science curriculum almost always includes networking and programming. Of the candidates that I have interviewed during my previous tenure in information security, the computer science majors always had more practical experience. That curriculum forced them to set up their own labs for projects, create programs, and extensively know computing systems. They also have 4 years of computer science rigor under their belt and in many cases come with letters of recommendations from their instructors instead of a month of studying for the cert they achieved that was made by some random guy on Youtube.
