They didn't at either of the colleges I went to. They seemed to be focused on C++, COBOL and Visual Basic. All are used all over the place, but only Visual Basic is easy for complete newbs. I hope more colleges adopt Python or Ruby as a teaching language, but I don't think it's a good idea to ignore COBOL or C++ since their used so extensively in big business.
