Most CS programs have software dev in their curricula; I don't think it's wild to expect a CS student to code FizzBuzz.

Yes, but overall it's still a science degree and not an engineering degree.
I graduated in 2006 in CS, and I had at least 5 or 6 software development classes. We also had electives, which included DB design and algorithms. Many of the higher-level classes allowed us to use any language of our choice as well.
I was self-taught since I was 15, so most of these classes were just review for me. I met lots of people that didn't know how to code as seniors (and never ended up getting a job in their field).
