Computer Science programs have many different roots. I think the most common is for them to grow out of Electrical Engineering departments where they end up tightly coupled with Computer Engineering, lots of hardware emphasis, etc. But they can also grow out of departments like math or information / library science. Then they may end up fairly far from the engineering departments.

Yeah that name is pretty odd. Oh wait, what's this thing I see at the National Science Foundation?

How on earth is a University doing this in 2012? Just makes no sense at all that you would cut one of the fastest growing fields on earth...
