Riding on that accreditation, Ateneo de Davao attained full university status in 1977, and new programs followed quickly — Agriculture that same year, Chemical Engineering in 1979, and three more engineering courses through the 1980s. This period of academic diversification carried into the 1990s, when technology took center stage: the Ateneo Computer Science Center brought the University online and eventually into its own Computer Science degree, while new programs in Electronics and Communications Engineering and Architecture rounded out a campus that was rapidly modernizing.
