A lot of what class will teach you is theory. They'll cover enough programming so that they can use code to help illustrate theory, and probably not a lot more in the non-elective major classes. In my degree program, there were some electives for UI and graphics programming, some specific languages, and so on. I'm sure there'd be some things about web programming that wouldn't have been available when I was there.

A lot starts out as magic. Class gives you enough to get started and demystifies some things, but I'd recommend doing side projects with classmates, competing in programming competitions, reading about anything that interests you (you'll find things that you have a burning curiosity about; don't wait for them to teach you that in school, because they might not).

My opinion is that the degree gives you a solid theoretical basis, and a checkmark on job listing requirements. Other than that, you're surrounded by a bunch of smart people with overlapping interests. It as perfect a time as any to set up study groups, clubs, and any other group activities you can think of to encourage extra projects and experimentation.
