Dear all,
In preparing the proposal for cataloging and metadata education (available at http://www.loc.gov/catdir/bibcontrol/CatalogingandMetadataEducation.pdf) I did a survey of LIS programs on their coverage of cataloging and metadata. The findings are reported in LRTS. If you are interested in the number of programs that require cataloging and programs that required organization of information (or a course of similar nature), here is the citation:
"Cataloging and metadata education in North American LIS programs" Library Resources and Technical Services 48, no. 1: 278-287.
I will send a PDF version to the educators who participated in that study later this week.

Dear Melanie,
Sorry for the delay in responding. I have been sick for the last week
or so...but am back on the "active" list.
I checked and found that indeed SUNY-Buffalo is on the list. Here's the
list:
University of Hawaii, University of Southern Mississippi, University of
Missouri-Columbia, State University of New York-Buffalo, University of
North Carolina-Greensboro, and University of Pennsylvania-Clarion.
Hope this helps!
Sylvia
