Majors

<p>Does anybody know, especially those at the academy, what the hardest majors are? I was looking over on the USNA forum and saw that some of the majors that I’m looking at (electrical engineering, aeronautical engineering) are some of the hardest.</p>

<p>While it varies on an individual basis, it's a general concensus that the engineering majors are the hardest, with astro tending to be at the top of this list.</p>

<p>How about the meteorology major? Does any of the current cadets or those more informed know how this major stacks up in difficulty?</p>

<p>Pick a major because you'll enjoy it and are interested in it, not because it's easy. Trust me, you'll have an easier time with a hard major that you like than a simple one that you despise.</p>

<p>Electrical engineering for the win.</p>

<p>It sounds like just about any technical major is going to be hard. ;)</p>

<p>Some majors are more difficult than others, but there really aren't any "easy" majors. And regardless of what you major in, you will have a ton of core classes to take in nearly every course you can imagine. As TN mentioned, pick a major you LIKE, otherwise you'll be miserable.</p>

<p>what are you good at? If I were a humanities major I would die. But I know some people who could not survive engineering and are great at fuzzy stuff. It's all relative.</p>

<p>Do not pick/not pick a major because of it's supposed difficulty. It's better to go for what you want to do, and then if you find out THEN that's it's too hard/you dont like it/you like something else better, you can switch.</p>

<p>I know not to pick a major based on whether it is easy or hard, I just wanted to know what I was going to be up against.</p>
