I studied computer science in a university, not because I wanted to learn programming, but because I wanted to study computer science.
I admit that most development tasks don't need the knowledge you get from a CS degree, but some do.
But in computer science, it's also totally possible to be self-taught. I've learnt a lot on my own, especially after university. Computer science is good for that because it's generally accessible: you don't need an expensive lab or equipments, you can just practice at home on your laptop.
