<p>well, i wouldn’t say so, chemical engineering is “hard” only because it combines 2 different types of thinking, both quantitative and qualitative. i don’t know about other schools but in mine ChemE takes 1 less math class than the other engineers as well as fulfilling all but 4 class requirements for the chemistry major. most people either have trouble with the calculations (biology types), or can’t handle the qualitative concepts (hardcore EE/physics types). but it truly is a broad, interdisciplinary major that, with the right electives, allows one to be good at: math, biology, chemistry, and physics. it is great preparation for any graduate school.</p>
