Computing activities began at Iowa State in the late 1930's when John Vincent Atanasoff , a professor of physics and mathematics, built a computer on campus that is now recognized as the first electronic digital computer.

The Department of Computer Science was established as a formal discipline in 1969, offering from the outset the B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. The department now has approximately 2,500 alumni.
