I have the ability to take course work for free (Military funded) from undergrad certifications to a masters degree. I don't think I have the patience to acquire a masters, or even a bachelors degree in software engineering or computer science, so I'm looking at various undergraduate programs in the field. I'm not looking for a job in the field, yet anyways. I figure its a free way to get my feet wet in programming. No I do not expect to become an EXPERT PROGRAMMER by taking on these courses.
My dillemma is that I can't find any undergrad programs designed around C or C++, most of them contain optional courses in the subjects though. All of them contain at least some java (which, while I'm not against learning, I dislike java), and most of them are centered and based on java programming.
TL;DR, Is it beneficial to learn java, when considering other practical languages?
