That's about right, I think. Mine started with Java (because the school was heavily supported by Sun). Some more advanced courses went into other styles of programming (Prolog for logic programming, Lisp for functional, ARM+MIPS assembly for low-level understanding). The C++ courses were purely electives and were taught in a "C with classes" style when I took them around 2005.

Of course the compilers, networking, and robotics classes all assumed fluency in C, and of those, the series on compilers was required, so it was impossible to escape learning at least some enough C to pass those classes.
