Cornell was the same way, our first semester weed-out calculus class MATH 1910 was "curved" to a B- median grade.
At the end of freshman year, everyone who wanted to major in CS had to apply to gain entrance into the CS degree program.
If you got a C in weed-out calculus, you were in troubled academic standing, and you would have to retake MATH 1910 until you got the B-, otherwise you wouldn't get accepted into the CS major.
Other majors had similar, and often less-stringent, degree requirements.
