So the 75%+ who don't pass this course don't graduate or what? They have to change degree?

  I've never heard of so many failing a college algebra course, at my second university it was around 25% failing and mostly because they'd relaxed the entry requirements in order to increase enrollment. However, for non-STEM and non-Business majors college algebra is rarely a prerequisite for any other courses so you can still continue your major without it, you do need to pass a math course before graduating though. They also have other math courses that can be used that aren't college algebra and may be easier.

  At my university, CS was called math-CS, it required intenses calculus courses with a similar failure rate. Of those who failed : ¼ retook the course, ¼ pivoted to the bussines-CS program (given by the CS department) , ¼ pivoted to bussines-IT (given by the business and management school) and as far as I know, the rest disappeared from the university.
