In Europe, informatics degrees, or more specifically technical informatics or engineer-informatics is often the right balance if you want math but also practice. In Hungary they call it engineer-informatics, but officially translate it as Computer Engineering, but it's not really heavily about how to engineer a computer as a machine, though there is some architecture and flipflops etc. of course in the curriculum. It's housed under the electrical engineering faculty, and not under the math and natural sciences faculty, but they still have rigorous discrete math, analysis, graph theory, optimization theory etc. classes.

It always baffled me that US colleges seem not to offer such programs. Or maybe they do, they are just not prestigious enough.
