I guess it really depends on what college. At my school, which tends towards the theoretical, Scheme, SML and Prolog are part of the core curriculum.



I've been reading some blog posts here http://existentialtype.wordpress.com/ about the curriculum at Carnegie Mellon and I've been very impressed. I can't believe they're phasing out object-oriented programming! Here the faculty seem to think object-oriented is the only way. Actually I can't think of any functional programming we've been introduced to. (Or any other paradigm for that matter)
