The short answer is no - and that's not even just for web/mobile development. You don't need a CS degree even if you wanted to do VR/AR development, be a Back-end/Front-End/Full Stack developer, etc...the list goes on.

From my understanding, the trend is shifting to be "it's nice if you have a degree, but what can you do OR what have you done?" - and I say this as a CS student myself.

Now if you ask me why I'm getting my degree then, well that's simply because I have hopes of getting my Masters or PhD and getting my Bachelor's first is a step in that direction.

Whatever you decide to do, just be sure to give it your best and know that there's a community out there (ahemdevtoahem) always willing to assist you in any way they can. Best of luck to you!
