Unfortunately, Compilers is no longer a required class to get a CS degree.

As with all degrees, that depends entirely on the school.

I meant in the average case.

What about in the worst case?

In the worst case, you can go to a school that doesn't offer compilers. My school offers but doesn't require it.

It would be interesting to discover the earliest CS program at a reputable university without a compilers requirement.
