For many CS undergrad programs you don't HAVE to know any programming languages to graduate. You would just be at a serious disadvantage for many likely future positions if you don't. Maybe you can finish your PhD without publishing but it seems unlikely that you could spend that much time doing GOOD original research and not have your name on something. Also it will be very hard to get an academic or even industry research position without GOOD publications.
