I studied "Mathematics and Computation" there in 89-92 because they seemed to think that "computation" was a fad that was probably going away, so you couldn't let people study just "Computation".

There was a certain amount of formal methods, but only in a perfunctory manner, as if to satisfy an inconvenient requirement. Some functional programming, but in an extremely shallow way. Overall, I did not learn a single useful thing in 3 years.

I followed this up with Ph.D. in Computer Science somewhere else, which was also a complete waste of time.
