you get taught by teachers and study with students who generally share a very conservative and specific religious outlook. And that comes thru in many, if not most courses in undergrad and post grad.

And that is also one of the primary reasons BYU is able to draw the top LDS student "recruits" for it's student body.

And that's very important. But doesn't mean the "academics" are clearly superior to other schools. Even though it's a great school.
