After taking a couple classes on programming (I know, CS isn't just programming) and an upper division intro to combinatorics, I'd like to get more into the area of discrete mathematics. I hope to pursue a PhD at some point, but I'm not sure how strong of a school I can get into since currently my undergrad GPA isn't the greatest. But combinatorics/graph theory and programming are very interesting, so I was wondering if there were any schools in the U.S. that may have such a program.
