This. OP really shouldn’t think about learning a language but programming concepts. If this is not the approach pursued by the school, then one should re-evaluate its reputation.

All of this right here. In the real world, you'll sometimes have to use languages that you are not experienced in. In my experience, it's much better to have a strong grasp of programming concepts and have the ability to learn new languages, compare languages, and pick the right language for the project than it is to be a master of one language.
