My uni did the usual Java bullcrap (with a lot of assembly, a little C++, Haskell, Prolog and matlab thrown in), but since I've played with Scheme, a little Common Lisp and a lot of Clojure and they have an enormous influence on how I program and think about programming in any language. So, regardless of what language(s) they teach you in uni, I think it is worthwhile picking up a Lisp-based language along the way (in your own time, if needed). The SICP book is also an excellent read, IMHO, and an excellent investment.

I think its worthwhile learning any language that is in a significantly different paradigm to what you already know, so I wouldn't stop at Lisp.
