What is toughest undergraduate major?

Almost certainly one of the engineerings. Biology and Biochem probably get second, the rest of the natural sciences get third, and those fvcking liberal arts majors can eat sh!t and die. 😀
 
i got a molecular bio degree at an ivy league. hard stuff, but some of the engineers beat me out in terms of difficulty of classes. CS and EE are damn hard.

Every major is different, what kind of moron thinks there's a "hardest" major.

I spent 8 hours a week in labs which I get no credit for in addition to a full course load. Meanwhile most theatre majors at my school would faint at the idea of more than just 6 hours of classes a week. But if you asked me to act, I couldn't, no amount of classes or learning could make it easy for me. Meanwhile if you put any of them in a lab they'd probably freak out.

College is about finding what you like, what you want to study, and what you want to do with your life. That's what makes a major easy. If you're major is so difficult to you maybe you oughta switch.

<---- Chemistry major btw.
 
if the main reason some of those subjects are considered difficult is the math involved, how come y'all don't think math itself would be as difficult ?

BCMB is not just Molecular bio. It's an umbrela degree plus alot more lab work.
 
I'd say EE. I'm a Chem Eng, 2nd year and it's alright, I know some EE's went nuts in first year.

Bio isn't that tough. The Chem courses I'm taking incorporate Organics as well as protein structuring etc.
If you're talking about ADP NADP and kingdom phylum class family genus species.. that's all memorizing. Not that hard, and not really applicable in real life when you can easily read it from a book.

APPLYING that knowledge (eg: engineering) is where you must LEARN different environments and design for them..
 
i wouldnt say biology or biochemistry is hard compared to most of the others. you just have to memorize facts whereas other majors like chem or engineering or math or physics require you to think

<= chem major graduate (transferred out of bio major)
 
My computer animation program may not be the hardest, but it's definately the most ulcer inducing, time consuming major that I know of.

Are you kidding? Do you wanna try reading just 1 Cell/Molecular biology paper? There's more than just memorization to performing the crazy experiments these people do. Figuring out how a biological system works is incredibly complex.
 
IMO, there is no toughest major. it depends on the person and the school.

I could skate through any of the liberal arts fields and many of the sciences, but there's no way I could do well in Rec Management (aka: Phys Ed) or Mass Comm.
