You really don't have to attend a top school for nursing. Just apply to any nursing school, attend any one that accepts him.

I'd recommend this too. I come from a family of nurses who love what they do.

Not sure which nursing program you’re talking about.

Nursing school is brutal and you need to be good at math and pass organic chemistry

Orgo not needed and you don't have to be "good" at math. And it's not "brutal" but other than that, you are correct.

He was interested in computer science but the Math part of it scared him off. He has handy with fixing things when it comes to computers. Is that what Information technology would be?

look at IT, Management Information Systems, and cyber security. None use much math.

Best advice so far. There are a variety of things to specialize in with IT. And if there is challenging math, tutors can help demystify it.

Cybsecurity is part of a CS degree, at least at UMD, and you need high level math in that degree program.

Even their Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering program requires Cal 1 to 3, and Linear Algebra. This program would actually be good for OP's DS as there is a hardware track, but it does require several advanced math classes.

It’s also part of the business school under information technology.

Pick two or three classes or hobbies from HS that he found interesting/excelled in. Look through the course catalogue where those fall and read through courses. See if some sound interesting. Take intro course in the areas that sound interesting.

Talk to the Interdisciplinary department as well
