I managed to finish college without a real VCS. Would it have made some things easier? Sure, but again, add it to the pile of things I needed to learn and did not have enough time to study.

as far as college is expected to prepare students for work, version control should absolutely be part of that.

i don't expect a fresh graduate to be a skilled git user but if the nature of development at work is substantially different from what the student learned at school, then they will have a much harder time adjusting.

they should at least be familiar with all the concepts that they will encounter in a junior job and not be faced with having to relearn a completely different development process.
