Want to program? Stick it out in CS.
I didn't want to program. Personally, I hate it. Some people like it, some people get off on it. I didn't.
If one day you aspire to be management personnel, making decisions, etc., go toward CIS. Get your MBA one day, and really learn what makes companies work. With CIS degree in hand, two years of practical programming (mostly C), 6 years of Unix experience, I landed a 6-figure job (+stock, big deal) a month before graduation.
The Slashdot Populous tends to have this disdain for management. A CIS degree is not a cookie cutter degree. What it trains you to do is different, true.
Management vs. Programmer... you decide for yourself.
