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?
- closeparen 9y agoSeveral semesters of theory is completely normal, but is not the same thing as 4-5 classes on algorithms. I had Discrete Math, Algorithms, and Formal Languages, all purely proof-based. Still, those were 3 courses out of 18 in my major. HN's perception that CS programs are mostly or entirely algorithms classes is baffling to me.
