I have a BS and MA and I was not required to take "differential equations." Just a light duty 101 type intro to calculus. That because it was not my focus of study. That in the US. No foreign language either since I already knew some French (thanks to my parents).
My wife has a BS and MS from Onatario, Canada and also was not required to study differential equations.
Different colleges for different degrees have different entrance requirements. I went late at 50 years old and met many college kids in the 2nd year who were functionally illiterate. They came from public schools. When I was getting my grad degree I met a few working school teachers who were forced to get their grad degrees. They also were near illterate. Very unhappy with being there too even though my tax dollars were paying their tuition. I had to pay my own totally out of pocket.
Parents who homeschool their kids can pool resources and share teaching abilities.
By the way, one of my sons - when he got out of the Navy was hired as a calculus teacher even though he had no college degree at all. He was self-taught but has a mind for such things. Not all of us do.
My brother taught at MIT and was regarded as one of the highest math and calc wizards in the country. Yet he could never pass a drivers test and get a drivers license. Didn't know which end of a hammer to hold either. He was totally clueless as to the real world around him. He was never able to convince me of the importance of algorithms.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
