I've not graduated yet as I started in 2009 and just take courses every now and again instead of doing it all at once, I'm completing my last term this fall.
First year with C++ and C. The C++ usage was C-style code just used cout/cin/booleans.
Second year was C, Forth(had to write an interpreter) MIPS32, Java, and Objective-C(Elective in iPhone dev[pre-iOS days])
Third year: C, Java, Haskell, Prolog
Fourth Year: Matlab, C, whatever you want. Most 4th year courses are either fairly specific or you're free to use any language you want. Ex. the Computer Vision course uses Matlab, but the AI course you could use whatever language you wanted provided you supplied steps for running it that the marker could follow.
