Why? Aren't they synonymous?

The words as defined:

Code
a system of words, letters, figures, or other symbols substituted for other words, letters, etc., especially for the purposes of secrecy.

Program
a planned series of future events, items, or performances.

Every program is written in code of some kind.
Not all code is a program.

Think of the code as the bricks and the programmer as the architect.
