Computer science is a (poorly named) branch of mathematics. Expecting it to primarily teach programming practice per se is like expecting a biology degree to consist primarily of practical medical training. (Of course CS is helpful for programming, just as biology is helpful for medicine.)

There’s more than one type of program. Some schools have developed CS programs that follow an engineering-type syllabus.
