I went to a technical college starting around 1971 at the Milwaukee Area 
Technical College.  I took the Business Data Processing associate degree 
program.  They didin't teach systems programming, but they had an excellent 
program teaching Cobol, Assembler, RPG, database, PL/1, Utilities and JCL, etc. 
 

Of course now, I don't think they teach anything mainframe, except maybe a 
Cobol course.
