I had Ada95 in my introductory classes, and today my alma mater uses Java, I think.

I would estimate many more programs use Java than C.

We still have C/C++ as a first year subject where I studied, with Java being a second year subject.
My alma mater had zero language courses. We were expected to learn enough of whatever languages were necessary for concepts covered in the course. Intro courses used Scheme and Java. C ended up being used in later courses after the intro ones, e.g. operating systems.
