It is well known that CS degrees don't really teach programming and holders of bachelor degrees in CS frequenty say that what they did in uni is totally irrelevant to their codemonkey work.

My question is, for other STEM, how much of what is taught in a B.S. degree is frequenty irrelevant to the work that these graduates get into? For example if a B.S. teaches some deeper theory or harder math than people plugging data into tools ever actually have to think about themselves in industry. Are any of them as bad as CS or is it more normal than we think?
