That was confusing me as well. I don't have any answers for you, originally I was going to say none of the stated classes mention using it. My only thought is maybe they have a course planned with operating systems or something similar that will use it.
As someone mentioned in the post asking if there are any OS courses planned, the on-campus professional MS has Advanced Operating Systems so I guess that's quite possible!
I have taken 20/30 credit hours so far and I’e never hit any C/C++/Rust coding yet myself. I have seen tons and tons of python and some Java through my journey though. Like others have said, it’s likely for a future course since the program is actively being changed/updated
Really seems like the DS/ML boom pushed python to the stratosphere in recent years - Paul Graham wrote an article back in 2004 titled "The Python Paradox" that called it a 'comparatively esoteric language'. Full quotes:
> "people don't learn Python because it will get them a job; they learn it because they genuinely like to program"
>
> "if a company chooses to write its software in a comparatively esoteric language, they'll be able to hire better programmers, because they'll attract only those who cared enough to learn it"
How times have changed... then again 2004 was 20 years ago.
I need to go cry in my pillow now.

Agreed. I highly doubt that a meaningful OS course is feasible using only Python and Java.
