That's how it was with CS at Purdue when I was there in beginning of the 1990's.
It was Computational Science, not Computer Science, and was in the math department.
We did everything wiht pen and paper until I got into my 300 level classes and we got access to the NeXT cubes and IBM 3090.
I ended up switching to networking and the tech track, but it was definitely different...
