He was very much included when I was doing undergrad philosophy. (UK, ~30 years ago.)

  I finished my undergrad in philosophy at a religious uni in the US about 20 years ago. We had a bit of Hume. The monks (most of the philosophy professors were monks) were more into ancient and medieval philosophers, with the exception of Nietzsche and Heidegger. One monk in particular loved teaching Nietzsche and Heidegger. I would have preferred more Hume, as I later discovered.

    We were almost the exact opposite; I don't think we really touched on ancient and mediaeval writers at all. Not much in the religious vein either, we more topic-centric (personal identity, ethics, formal logic etc) than philosopher-centric.

      I did one of my four years at a very large public university, and my experience there was much more like you describe. I would have preferred that, ultimately. I didn't know at the time. Possibly, college kids (or secondary school kids heading into college) don't commonly understand there could be a significant difference in instruction. Or maybe it was just me.
