It looks like the first CS department was at Purdue (wasn't expecting that); they introduce a CS degree program in `67. UNC was another early adopter.


What is interesting is that the IITs in India (the first 5 at least) were setup a decade prior (late 50s), and some had very heavy support from American and European universities while setting up. So much so that IIT Kanpur actually had a CS department that started in 1963!
