So I've heard that the Guinness Book of World Records lists a particular college degree as the most difficult. Not sure if it's apocryphal or not... but does anyone have any info about this?
The Guinness Book of World Records recognizes the Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Physics degree offered by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) as the most difficult degree to earn in the world. The course has a tough selection process with an acceptance rate of less than 10%, and students must close out their last undergraduate year with a pass rate of 100% in all examinations to be able to graduate. However, it's important to keep in mind that the difficulty of any program can depend on individual strengths and weaknesses, as well as personal interest levels - what seems challenging for one person might be easier for another.
