Duke University. Dept. of Computer Science.

The Computer Science Program was initiated in January 1971. It was conceived to provide courses on the theory of computer design, capabilities and use. Although students could not major in computer science at the undergraduate level, graduate courses were taught, especially in conjunction with the Engineering and Mathematics programs. By the 1973-1974 academic year, the Computer Science Program had become the Department of Computer Science, which allowed students to major in computer science and obtain a B. S.
