I don't know about any university, but at Caltech it was consistent that everything used was derived from first principles. There wasn't any "trust me, use this rule".

That wasn't consistent at my school, but classes that did derive everything from first principles were consistently the best ones.

I went to a small religious college, and my experience was similar to yours.

Edit: There were some exceptions, such as my double bass lessons.
