aegrisomnia:

I’d probably recommend the “Programming Languages” course over Database/Operating System courses. Like algorithms, it’s more fundamental and - in my opinion - may prove more useful for writing software.



It may depend on whether other CS courses gave the student exposure to the various concepts in such a course. In some cases, the same concepts may be learned piecemeal in several other CS courses that use various programming languages.

[EECS 490: Programming Languages](EECS 490: Programming Languages (Fall 2006)) describes Michigan’s EECS 490.
