The art and science of computing with digital computers is still in its formative stages. As a

The art and science of computing with digital computers is still in its formative stages. As a result, much of the terminology, technology, techniques, and training is yet to be standardized to any substantial degree. Likewise, computer science and information science programs in institutions of higher education lack standardization.While it is not the purpose of this paper to comment on the standards or curricula of computer or information science programs, the paper does provide some statistics which allow the reader to determine some of the characteristics of a "typical" computer science program. Specifically, statistics are given on current enrollment, faculty, teaching loads, tenure policies, faculty recruitment, and computing equipment available in such programs. The statistics are based on a recent nationwide survey.
