my university is making it needlessly difficult for me to choose CS as a second major
I expect that if you take enough in-major classes to learn the right skillset the lack of a degree in the field won’t be a huge obstacle. Though if your major is totally non-technical this might not hold. Anyway, studying CS but not getting a full second major is an option worth considering.
Thanks for the advice, but it doesn’t work that way. The problem is that, for some indiscernible reason, in order to get the art degree I need to take 48 credits in the school of arts and sciences (i.e. an entire year and a half). So it would be much easier to have a second major in the arts and sciences (e.g. math or economics) instead of the school of engineering.
