@siwelwerd My hypothesis is that at least some institutions, math is often picked up as a second major based on positive experiences and personal connections with math faculty, but perhaps this is damped due to changes in modality caused by necessary COVID mitigations.

@siwelwerd Another pitch: students/parents are concerned about the economy and are more picky about choosing majors with clear career pathways, rather than a more flexible major without a pipeline to industry after graduation.
