Language proficiency, by and large, is the easiest thing for anyone to pick up. Again, new CS grads are, on average 21 or 22 years old. I was programming C/C++ for around a decade at that point, and I was still a terrible programmer. Work taught me a lot more on how to write good C code.
Programming languages are tools. Knowledge of a language is not the final goal of a CS education, because it's the same as teaching a mechanical engineer how a drill works.
Also, the tools are based entirely on the theory of computing. And once you understand the theory, understanding what the tools are doing, and how they work, becomes much easier.
