Personally I think you would learn more from solving algorithm puzzle problems independently than taking algorithms and analysis courses. A couple that come to mind are Project Euler [1] and CodeKata [2]. The problem with most courses is that they teach the very basic types of data structures, a couple search algorithms, etc but not enough. They didn't give me the intuition I was looking for. Alternatively, the most recommended books I've seen for your use case are _Programming Interviews Exposed_ (PIE) [3] and _Cracking the Coding Interview_ [4].
