Abstract Algebra and real/complex analysis courses

From my 25+ years ago Math major background in top 5 engineering school, these are very serious and upper level (3rd or 4th year in college) classes. Complex analysis is also often taken by engineers and not that bad. Anyway taking these during summer or online is not a good idea in my opinion. Why this should be done not during college years? Taking them online would not impress anybody. Credits will not be transferable. Is your child miserable without these classes? Is he/she in college or in HS?
