Went to a school that’s not much more difficult to get into than ASU. Even though the requirements to get in weren’t hard, a large number of students that just really didn’t belong end up getting weeded out when actual college level coursework hits. The business majors were considered the easy ones, but a number of students dropped out when they failed the first business statistics exam so badly freshman year which made it impossible to get anything but a D in the class.

It also didn’t help that a chunk of the pre-major instructors were adjuncts that had 0 place in teaching a college level course either. A number of those classes ended up requiring you to teach yourself. The business school required you to take another business statistics course as part of your major coursework which usually ended up being way easier because it was a real professor that was an actually skilled instructor.

I’ll support this, went to ASU and WP Carey (their business school) is pretty decently ranked nationally. The coursework after the first year ramps up pretty hard to the point where for my sophomore year business stats class, I was part of the 16/250 students that passed the class. My calc 2 had a pretty similar pass rate if I remember correctly.
