That is my exact complaint with my MIMS program. It morphed out of the the old Library Sciences program, originally with a purer organization focus. But by the time I got there, they were requiring a basic programming skill, "basic" not really being all that novice level at all. The shift now seems to be towards pre-existing programmers who want UI/UX skills and a foundation of organizational standards based in metadata and taxonomy, as well as some understanding of the social issues of information management thrown-in.
You, actually, could be a model for one of the types of professional they want to produce. I just wish they'd already made up their minds before they told me I could get what I was looking for in their program.
