HISTORY
The American College is the first institution in this region to introduce
computers and computer laboratory in education even in the early seventies. The
College started teaching computer courses with the advent of Apple Plus II
computers, imported from the United States even before Autonomy was introduced
in the college. With the grant of autonomy to the college, several
computer-oriented courses were started. Post Graduate Diploma in Computer
Applications was started in the year 1985, followed by B.Sc (Computer Science)
in 1993 and to crown it all, Master of Computer Applications Program in the
years 1994. The brain behind the success of the computer science program rests
with stalwarts like Dr.R.P.Riesz, Dr.P.Pandiyaraja, who were instrumental in
developing a full-fledged Laboratory and in framing the cutting edge syllabi
for the various programmes.
