First off, as far as I know most schools still do their introductory computer science courses in Java or C. Secondly, your point about "drag and drop" programming is why I would want to hire someone who took a computer science rather than someone who took "programming". I did half my degree at one school and half at another, and in both cases the language used was secondary to the programming concepts taught. After school, I was looking at some "programming" courses in the interest of keeping my skills up-to-date.
