In my experience, C++ goes alot further on job applications than C does, for what it's worth. Also, C is more or less a subset of C++ so if you know C++, it won't take long to get used to writing/reading C code; whereas knowing C doesn't even get you close to writing/reading C++ code.
I would take C++, but keep in mind that you will never be an expert after a single class ... or even 5 years of work experience for that matter.
