The most significant outlier compared to other colleges is foreign language to fourth semester college course level (16 credits if started from beginner course, AP score of 5 satisfies, AP score of 3 or 4 gives advanced placement so that fewer courses are required).

Utah gives math majors the choice of a BA or BS. The BS has no language requirement, instead it has a higher level QI (Quantitative Intensive) course requirement which is already covered by the math major courses. So an overwhelming percentage of math majors choose the BS degree.

But completely agree that it’s a great safety for math, with a lot of opportunities for top students.
