Who teaches the "<math specialty> for business" courses? IME, it was math professors.
It's not unreasonable for the biology department to come up with the common programming use-cases for their students, then have the CS department build a course around those skills.
My minor was Bioinformatics. The biology department taught foundational course like biology and genetics and the CS department taught the courses on processing data.

IME its the same...I've also found that approach works less well at generating good learning. It (seemingly inherently) results in decontextualized knowledge and does not get students over the application gap, which is the exact problem that such things are trying to solve.
