I got my CS degree back in the early 2000s from one of the most renouned CS schools in my country. Back then, there was only a single class where a computer was needed to do the weekly exercises, all other classes from the first to the last semester were theorems and proofs done with pen and paper. And that class was an elective, I could have passed without taking it. Likewise, I could have taken a database class but I wasn't interested. I did take the programming class, though. Theorems, proofs, pen, paper. Obviously, my university's CS department came out of the math tradition of CS, not the engineering tradition. That doesn't mean I didn't take a hardware design class, though.
