CMU is one of the only places I know of that is so agressively and
comprehensively teaching FP in its normal undergrad curriculum.
However, off the top of my head here is an (incomplete, unordered)
list of other places with faculty/research groups doing things with
FP:

  * Princeton
  * Yale
  * Harvard
  * University of Kansas
  * Indiana University Bloomington
  * Portland State
  * UPenn

In such places, as an undergrad, yes, you might have to write programs
in Java -- but if you are motivated you could get involved with
cutting-edge FP research.  You will learn a lot more that way than
just having FP taught in your classes anyway!  In my experience
motivated undergrads who want to get involved in a research group are
often welcomed.
