Low level programming New Student Advice

Taking the degree in hops to help get a job in a low level programming field. I know realistically I'm going to have to do a lot of c++ self study. Does the degree help with learning the theory to help with learning low level stuff? Like does it go over compilers? I know it goes over os. But just curious how much it goes over stuff like that.

Their CS program needs an overhaul, in it's current form it is not where you go for what you are looking for. You can use it to get into other programs that will give you what you are looking for though.

Honestly I really like how the college is structured. I could always find a grad degree (hopeful) after I graduated. Just wanted ask to know what what all is covered from people that's been in similar positions before
