I’ve never heard of a degree in computer programming but I am guessing that it is a very scaled down version of computer science. It probably has more to do with how to work with basic applications and probably only applies to Windows. This is just a guess.
Computer Science involves writing and creating code.

Computer programming is something you can choose to focus your studys on under a Computer Science major. Computer science majors are anything application based.

Computer Science (or information technology) is a more global concept covering all aspects of computers and IT. Computer programming is very specific to programming (coding, scripting, writing programs, etc.).
Basically, a computer science degree could lead to a career as an IT specialist, whereas Computer Programming could lead to a career at a software development firm. There is a lot of overlap, though. An IT student will learn a lot about programming, and a programming student will learn a lot about other aspects of computers. A programming course wouldn’t deal much with systems/networks administration, technical support or graphics.
