what major is harder?

<p>engineering or accounting(/business)?</p>

<p>I think the widespread opinion is simply</p>

<p>Engineering >> Business. (In difficulty)</p>

<p>depends on your personality.</p>

<p>what a dumb question..</p>

<p>personality has nothing to do with this, since both majors are heavy-math majors, but the big difference is all the other classes you have to take
engineering - physics, chem, thermodynamics, digital design classes, compsci, ect...most are ridiculous
business/accounting - take a few lower level calc, statistics, more humanities, comm. classes...not easy, but not on the hard side</p>

<p>VTjas put it in the best way...what a dumb question</p>

<p>Let's not bash anyone here, it's an innocent question.</p>

<p>coolblue, you will find that most engineers feel very strongly if you question the difficulty of their education and the efforts associated with it. I feel that accounting is a challenging major. However I believe engineering is among the most difficult majors at most schools.</p>

<p>business is math heavy major?</p>

<p>economics, statistics, probability classes, ect</p>

<p>math heavy in the way that counting to 10 is math heavy.</p>

<p>Engineering >>> Tic-Tac-Toe >>> Business</p>

<p>That's a joke, btw. Accounting is harder than Tic-Tac-Toe. The rest of business is still easier though.</p>

<p>and even that doesn't apply to every accounting class ;)</p>

<p>Computational Finance is also called Financial Engineering in some schools and is just as hard as some engineering majors...due to the heavy dose of advanced mathematics (mainly operations research, statistics and higher-order partial differential equations).</p>

<p>I second to that. Financial engineering is hard as hell.</p>

<p>Engineering > Business in terms of difficulty. But if you have the intelligence to go places, Business is the better option.</p>

<p>Alot of people major in one and minor in the other</p>
