I am investigating the growing breadth of the computing discipline(s) and would like to identify university degree programs that illustrate this breadth. If you know of an unusual program, I would appreciate knowing its name, level (BS, MS, PhD, etc.), and the university that offers it. Separate "tracks" or "options" within a more common degree program are also sought, provided they appear as named options in the college catalog and vary significantly from the parent program. For example, these programs have been identified so far: Software Engineering Information Networking Artificial Intelligence Robotics Computational Biology Computational Linguistics Information and Decision Systems Systems Analysis Software Design and Development Software Development and Management Software Systems Management Man-Computer Systems Symbolic Computation Information Technology Information Engineering I am excluding programs that are essentially computer science under a different name: computer sciences, computing science, computing sciences, information science, information sciences, computer and information science, etc. I am also excluding computer engineering and its variants.

Just to complicate the issue, these names have been used to mean "Statistics" (usually with a computational bias, admittedly, but Statistics none the less). -- Bill Venables, Dept.
