College algebra is not like HS algebra. It IS a class that is taken after Calc1 and Calc2, Vector Calc, etc.
I can't tell you exactly what the courses consist of, but I believe it is highly theoretical. Mathematics is much more encompassing than what you can do with numbers.
Now whether this is a class that should be required for teaching is another question...
