Whoa... (UCLA c/o 2010, Bioengineering) UCLA used to use C# in the PIC10A series. I didn't take too many classes in these series, but did audit some while I was deciding as a non-CS major how technical to become. Personally, I think it's fine for the Math Department to use Python - there's plenty of opportunities to do the lower level stuff or unmanaged stuff in other classes at UCLA.

For CS/CSE and engineering majors we take the CS31 (intro to CS)/32 (data structures and algorithms)/33 (operating systems) series - these primarily use C++ (if not C, assembly, etc.)
