Learning C - if you're going to do a lot with network security tools - is an absolute must. And I don't mean C++ - you need to learn gritty, low-level C. Also x86 assembly is very useful.

Most universities don't have a lot oriented at network security. They might have one or two classes, but it's really not a lot. What you need to do for the most part is just go out, find books, set up computers, and experiment on your own. It's the fastest teacher.
