<p>Generally speaking, please rank 1-whatever (1 being the most difficult undergrad major) in your opinion! (and no like obscure ones.. the basics for the most part- math, history, engineering, sciences, psych, philosophy etc)</p>
<p>or you can just set up 2 groups.. one listing the "hard" majors and one the "easy"</p>
<p>depends on the school, though engineering and pre-med are considered the hardest if i recall correctly.</p>
<ol>
<li>Engineering</li>
<li>Math</li>
<li>Sciences</li>
<li>Philosophy</li>
<li>History</li>
<li>Psychology</li>
</ol>
<p>Hard: exactly what rsx said</p>
<p>Easy: most communications and management majors</p>
<p>A meaningless question. Whether a major will be difficult for you will depend on your talents, your preparation, and your interest.</p>

<p>How could anyone know? Some people may ***** and moan more about one major than people do another</p>
<p>meh it was just for like fun i was curious to see what people thought? and what do you mean how could anyone know? i wrote your OPINION</p>
<p>if your not going to do it please don't post complaining about the thread</p>
<p>While I don't think one major is necessarily more difficult than another, majoring in music takes A LOT of time, effort, and talent.</p>
<p>As measured by GRE scores, the major attracting students with the most to least aptitude:</p>
<p>Major- Verbal, Quant, Total</p>
<p>Engineering - 468, 721, 1189</p>
<p>Physical Sciences - 488, 699, 1187</p>
<p>Humanities/Arts - 541, 561, 1102</p>
<p>Life Sciences - 464, 580, 1044</p>
<p>Social Sciences - 485, 559, 1044</p>
<p>Business - 448, 591, 1039</p>
<p>Education - 450, 531, 981</p>
<p>Mean for All Examinees - 470, 598, 1068 </p>
<p>Interesting that the difference in IQ between Engineers and teachers is ~19 IQ points or well over a standard deviation. Anyone else see the irony here? LOL.</p>
<p>i wouldn't call that statistically significant unless they're more than 2 standard deviations away from each other</p>
<p>"i wouldn't call that statistically significant unless they're more than 2 standard deviations away from. each other"</p>
<p>You're joking, right? Please tell me you're joking</p>
<p>I thought it had already been concluded that the difficulty of a major is subjective and different for each individual...?</p>
<p>"I thought it had already been concluded that the difficulty of a major is subjective and different for each individual...?"</p>
<p>Spoken like a true liberal arts major. How many communications honors students do you think could eek through with a BS in Physics?</p>
<p>no i'm not joking... look under "rules for normally distributed data"</p>
<p>Standard</a> deviation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>
<p>"The central limit theorem says that the distribution of a sum of many independent, identically distributed random variables tends towards the normal distribution. If a data distribution is approximately normal then about 68% of the values are within 1 standard deviation of the mean, about 95% of the values are within two standard deviations and about 99.7% lie within 3 standard deviations. This is known as the 68-95-99.7 rule, or the empirical rule."</p>
<p>if 95% of the data is within 2 standard deviations, it's not statistically significant.</p>
<p>oops, double posted</p>
<p>How many engineering students do you think could contribute some new insight into the works of Shelley?</p>
<p>i intend to major in engineering and i can easily write multiple papers on Shelley.</p>
<p>To nothingcompares, just because you just learned something in your AP Stat class doesn't mean you have to go around flaunting your knowledge around the forums.</p>
