The CS program at the school I went to only a few years ago was exactly what you imagined. Electronics and boolean logic, computer architecture, assembly language, operating systems, models of computation, data structures, algorithm analysis. I think we only had twelve hours (1-2 semesters, if taking them alongside gen eds) on industry things like UI, specifications, and software development. Even things like networks, databases, and ML were all electives for upperclassmen rather than part of the core curriculum (being less fundamental), along with specializations like compilers and more advanced math.
I would've expected to see a program focused on "practical outcomes" only at a university which offered both CS and SWE degrees.
