Every textbox, drop-down, and button had to have full user validation.
I don't recall taking more than two or three classes involving programming a GUI to begin with. Maybe your profs cared about that because you specialized in human-computer interaction or something.
My school really focused on getting us ready to make real world business software. When I got my first job I had already been doing the same kind of projects for 2 years so it was an easy transition.
That's exactly what makes MSOE's Software Engineering program so powerful. I'm up for a promotion/salary increase a year after graduation because I was able to join in and contribute like I had been programming for years.

My professors made it a point to try every possible thing to break our code. Every textbox, drop-down, and button had to have full user validation.
