This might vary by school, but my undergraduate university had, in my opinion, a great computer science program which attracted many big-name companies to job fairs. There was definitely a focus on teaching practical and relevant things using relevant technologies. For those interested in research, there were also undergraduate research opportunities. IMO this is what a university education should look like for most people in order for it to stay relevant. There are otherwise far more too many people attending universities relative to the demand for researchers.

This is the best model. I have been advocating for this forever. The university that I got my actual degree from was something that a SV company would scoff at. But, the education they were able to scrap together was far more effective in my day-to-day work than prior education I had received at a far more prestigious institution. Perhaps it was just me, but it always seemed like the less money I spent on my education the more effective it became.
