I think math would help. I have an undergraduate in applied math and a master's in MIS. I did get an MBA sequentially - but for the most part what has helped me stay in the IT field, most of which has been a developer (database and datatwarehouse programming), was the math.

I see computer programming as a "logical math" - but then again I see math as a language. As someone earlier stated, it helps in communicating complex ideas. The first programmers were actually mathematicians and engineers. A lot of people I know who are great programmers have an engineering degree.

If you want to be a data analyst, math will help. It's the logic set necessary, and the discipline. I see relational databases as more of linear algebra anyway.

I hope this helps !
