You're in a computer science program, I assume. There's a reason for that --
"real world" changes so fast that a "practical" compsci degree would be
obsolete by the time you got it. However, the theoretical scientific
background is also important/interesting, and while that changes too, the
basics remain relevant.
A CS degree isn't necessarily very useful for a sysadmin job. But then, it
doesn't hurt either.

Real-world experience is the best -- that's the prep I have. There's a lot
of good Linux resources available. Check out
<http://www.bu.edu/computing/linux/faq.html#resources> for a list of things
I think are especially good.
