Every CS program of middling quality or above covers that material, but some may shove that coursework into mostly elective courses. Also, students can pass courses without really learning anything so if it's just one or two courses that really dive that deep over their academic career, they can learn enough to pass and then brain dump it.


Can confirm, I studied CS and don't feel like I really understand any of the low-level stuff.


You didn't have a course in machine structures? Including programming in assembly language?


I had one, I got an A in it (one of my best CS classes actually), but I don't remember much because I never applied it outside of the class
