The two year and four year computer technology programs at Purdue University

Published: 04 June 1973 Publication History

Abstract

There are eight kinds of educational programs in the United States which presently supply industry with the majority of its computer-EDP oriented employees. For lack of better terminology, I would classify these programs as follows:
(1) The two year Data Processing (DP) programs which are concentrated at vocational institutions, community colleges, junior colleges and at some senior colleges and universities.
(2) The four year academic programs offered by many senior colleges and universities in the areas of Business Data Processing and Computer Science.
(3) The graduate level programs in Information Systems and Computer Science offered at some major colleges and universities.
(4) The specialized programs offered by the various computer manufacturers' education centers.
(5) The company in-house training programs.
(6) The so-called private commercial schools, many of which have been established through franchising, and which usually offer training ranging from 3 to 12 months.
(7) The private home study schools.
(8) The various high schools which offer vocational oriented training programs in EDP.
