My 2014 undergraduate degree from an engineering school on the east coast included two required tracks, one for data structures/algorithms taught in Java and a computer systemsey track that taught C, Linux, and some operating system essentials.

I think an operating systems course, or something approaching it, is a pretty standard piece of good CS curriculums in the CS still from talking with other folks I've worked with. And I live/work very far from where I got my degree.
