I‘d honestly be interested where you are from and how it is in other parts of the world. In my country (or at least at my university), we have to learn most of what you described during our bachelors. For us there is not much focus on programming languages though and more about concepts. If you want to learn programming, you are mostly on your own. The theories we learned are a good base though
I'm most familiar with the now-defunct Oregon University System in the USA. The topics I listed off are all covered under extras that aren't included in a standard four-year degree; some of them are taught at an honors-only level and others are only available for graduate students. Every class in the core was either teaching a language, applying a language, or discrete maths; and the selections were industry-driven: C, Java, Python, and Haskell were all standard teaching languages, and I also recall courses in x86 assembly, C++, and Scheme.
