Yes, when I graduated in the 90's, we had Pascal, C++, C, Prolog, Caml Light, Java, PL/SQL, Assembly (x86 and MIPS), Tarski's World language, Lisp, Algol, PL/I.

Those like myself doing compiler related classes got to additionally explore Forth, Oberon, Oberon-2, Active Oberon, Modula-2, Modula-3, Eiffel, Ada, Concurrent C, Objective-C, *Lisp, Sather, C+@ [1] among a few others I cannot remember now.
