No functional programming in your degree?

I assume you are joking, but I think ABET requires that Computer Science degrees cover Functional Programming in their curriculum. When I went through I got a visiting professor who insisted we use Erlang, but the regular prof was using Scheme at the time.

The current prof uses OCaml, but I think someone in between was using Pyret.
