1. Brief History of the School /About the Department
The department was established in 1998/1999 academic session. The first set of students started from Pre-NCE Computer Education. During the 1999/2000 academic session, the qualified Pre-NCE students were transited to 100 level and some students joined them through Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
Before the department was established, Computer Training Programme was already going on in the College. It was for College staff and interested individuals from outside the College. There was only one computer laboratory for both Computer Training Programme and Computer Education Department.
Later, in 1999/2000 academic session, the Computer Training Programme was moved from the College to the town at the top-floor, Akesan Community Bank, Owode, Oyo while the Computer Education Department was moved to the newly constructed Computer Centre building in the College where the department is located currently.
The name “Computer Education Department” was changed to “Computer Science Department” by the College authority. The department has produced many NCE graduates.
