Anecdotally, at my university (graduated 2013 so still a recent experience), a lot of CS students took the intro to programming course. In fact, it was (and still is) a requirement for a BS in CS at the school. The only way you could get out of it was if you had taken AP CS in high school and passed the test for the credits.
A large majority of my CS friends in that class had all been programming for either a little bit or quite some time, and the class was mostly a joke for them. Lectures were optional, and a bunch of friends (including myself) only attended three classes the entire semester: the first class (where we found out we didn't need to go to class except for tests) and the mid term and final.
Of course on the other side of things, I had friends who had never programmed before and found the course grueling and struggled to pass.
