<p>In general...which major do you think requires the most time sudying (excluding engineering and physics majors)?</p>
<p>Performin Arts majors requiring as much time as medical interns. i just found that out on the internet. lol. And that's what im planning on majoring in. It's alot of studying and analyzing, memorizing, and then performing.</p>
<p>In a dream world maybe it does. Medical interns have 80 hour work weeks, I doubt performing arts requires nearly as much time or knowledge. Engineering in general is regarded to have the most study time since it have some of the harder majors you can have.</p>
<p>I know people who practice 6-8 hours a day for various instruments, 7 days a week. They are serious about their performance.</p>
<p>Performing Arts majors not only have reagular hw but they have practices and private lessons late into the evening. Plus, at conservatory type schools, like Syracuse, Michiga, NYU, instead of having seperate classes, it's like a regular school day. After attending a summer colllege program last summer, i know from personal experience that class starts at 9 am and ends at 4:30, and i would stay until 6:30 somedays because of private voice lesson, etc. that's easiy up there with the med students and engineer.</p>
<p>are you going to alter your course of study because one major requires 1 or 2 more hours a day than another? Give me a break.</p>
<p>Performance majors definitely work that much. There are classes and rehearsals all day, and THEN they practice endless hours. It's hard work.</p>
<p>any sort of hard science like chemistry, biochem, etc will require many hours of studying. chem lab for chem majors is often 6 hours/week in lab for one class, plus lab reports about 15-20 pgs long every week. Call me prejudiced, but I consider that to be harder than any preforming arts major.</p>
<p>That depends. For someone who despises all science with a passion and sucks at it, anything is easier than science. But for someone like my friend that really likes science and stuff, he might find find science easier than performing arts. :)</p>
<p>pre-med.......</p>
<p>even though pre-med it is not a major, the courses are difficult</p>
<p>business. wait no, i dont study at all. probably engineering or pre-med.</p>
<p>pre med isint really all that hard, all I can see is hard is cell Bio, which really is not that bad. For people who are wanting to become doctors these classes should be nothing.</p>
<p>Engineering is 100% performance oriented, when you do you labs if your numbers doint add up you dont get credit you cant ********.</p>
<p>Im a computer engineering student. If I dont do my cicuitry work or programs guess what I aint got nothing to show and its impossile to ********.</p>
<p>Taking chemistry classes is not the same because you dont need to actually go to the labs and do the problem sets to pass the class with an A.</p>
<p>Engineering, almost every class is dependent on labs.</p>
<p>I would say that Engineering and Pharmacy students study the most. and Pharmacy being #1. My roomate studied more than anybody I ever seen in my life. I mean he never slept and when he did it was by reading his Chem book.</p>
<p>pretty much hard science and engineering</p>
<p>"Taking chemistry classes is not the same because you dont need to actually go to the labs and do the problem sets to pass the class with an A"</p>
<p>Umm.. actually I was talking about chem lab classes where the lab IS the grade. Typically gen chem courses have lab as a very small percentage of the overall grade - but with the condition that you still need to finish each lab to pass the class. Advanced chemistry courses often have a separate lab class, where the experiments and reports are the grade and midterms and final exams are a smaller percentage. In my ochem lab courses we were even graded on what percent yeild and purity of the product we got at the end of the experiment. A lab report at the advanced level is hard work ... intro, lengthy theory, equations, experimental, results, discussion, conclusion, and calculations with error propagation. Bleh.. time consuming.</p>
<p>aerospace is the most nitorious at my school. those students pretty much have no lives.</p>
<p>It's highly variable from person to person. A class that takes a lot of studying for one person can require practically none for another...
That being said, the answer is major in bagpipe performance.</p>
<p>screw that... i refuse to recognize performance as an academic major</p>
<p>I think its pretty obviously the engineering and life science majors that require most studying</p>
<p>it just depends on what you put into it. my roommate was a graphic design major who i only ever saw do maybe 5 hours of work per week. a friend of mine who was a graphic design major would do at least 5 hours of work per night... i was a business major who put in many hours per night as well..</p>
<p>and to myheart, you can't knock it till you've done it to see how hard it is.. yeah science majors require a lot of studying, but so do business majors and music majors and whatnot. i mean, business is usually viewed as the "slacker" major, yet i was still in the library 5 days a week for hours at a time. gotta love being there from open-close on sundays and getting pizza delivered to my study room for dinner.</p>
<p>My D is a bio and perf arts double major. She acknowledges that the performing arts part takes up inordinate time, but the pre-med curriculum is much more difficult AND takes up alot of time--especially org chem.</p>
<p>Taxing your brain vs taking alot of time--both are difficult for different reasons.</p>
