What you're saying is a bit tricky though because you say you want to work with react and not a programming language. But react is a library of JavaScript which is a programming language. In this case I think computer science is a good idea. But if you want to stick more to the front end, look for more web development majors and yes maybe consider something in design as well.

If you want to avoid deep mathematics then find a degree that is on the outer perimeter of front end development. Something that compliments it so that when you look for a career you can show that you stand out from the rest. Every college has different majors so it really depends on the school. Just look for those that can compliment you within design, or web development if you want to avoid computer science.
