Nothing against node.js, but a candidate would be marketable to a broader range of shops if the program gave them a basic grounding in Python and SQL. Python is well accepted for both web servers and sysadmin type scripting. SQL is the most common choice for databases. I don't think either one would be a incremental burden and would really open up the number of potential employers for the grads.
Don't get me wrong, Python is great and has a number of really great number crunching libraries just a pip away, but if all you're doing is developing web apps and hashing out some scripts via the terminal... they'll need to know JavaScript for the client - but do they really need to come away with two languages after 3 months?
Seems like people fail to realize that the language is the medium through which they teach concepts (algorithms, data structures, etc).
I'm an HR06 grad; we focused on fullstack Javascript, but that hasn't stopped me from working in Ruby/Rails, or more recently, Go.
Beyond that, we did actually have lectures/sprints on MySql, Postgresql and Mongodb. Not sure if that's changed at all.
