University of Virginia had 2 semesters of theory as a standard + a practical optional, which was usually something that made heavy usage of math or logic anyways.

I think Emory has the same.

I don't think this is that strange, is it? Which university do you know that doesn't mandate this for Computer Science?

That was besides my point (there probably are universities like that). What I was trying to point out was that a class of algorithms might not be enough to prepare you for some hardcore algorithmic interviews out there that go into lot of detail you probably didn't learn in that one class or throw some more advanced variations or algorithms at you.

Some of the interviews out there will expect you to have much more knowledge than what was taught in that one class in the uni. And sometimes companies with these interviewing processes really don't even do anything else than CRUD apps which is hilarious given their interviewing routines.

Only one quarter of algorithms was required at Stanford. However, I did end up taking a class on computational mol bio algorithms and I believe there were at least 3 other electives that focused on specific classes of algorithms in discrete domains.

Rochester Institute of Technology CS curriculum breaks up theory courses into 2:

Intro to CS Theory Intro to Algorithms

Both combined I'd say are a good base for technical interviews, but not sufficient.
