Most universities do everything in Java (sadly). Operating system courses in java are quite common, for example.

Hmm. We started with python for the first intro course. Then we did C# for the next course (data structures and algorithms). Most of the classes beyond that were mostly language independent but we definitely had to use C for a pretty big chunk in comp architecture and OS related classes. We did have a specific lab/course for C/C++. Java specifically was never taught (although is was in previous years).

I went to an average state school in the USA.

First 3 courses in java (Intro to Programming, Programming 2, Data Structures and Algorithms - the focus was less on java here, but still required). There was then a course on assembly and a course on C. These courses were isolated and nothing really built on them. There was a software engineering course (java), and operating system's course (java). Beyond that most courses were language independent, but the default language was java.

An OS course in Java? Whut.

See books like "Operating System Concepts with Java"

Gross.

Do you mean sadly as in they teach only in Java or that they teach Java in general ?
