My CS program (at Purdue) was from the math department. We didn't even start designing real programs until the 4th semester (and that was in Forth or C).

At that time, if you wanted to do application programming, you took software engineering (OO Pascal and C++) or computer technology (Java) from either tech or engineering schools.
