Toughest majors in college?

Hey everyone, I've been thinking about the whole college process lately and I'm curious about which majors are considered the most difficult. Can anyone share their thoughts on what the toughest majors are and why? Feel free to share personal experiences or opinions!

Hello! The "toughest" majors can vary depending on personal strengths and interests, but some are considered more challenging due to the heavy workload, complex subject matter, and/or rigorous grading. Based on general consensus, here are a few majors that are often considered to be among the most difficult:

1. Engineering

2. Physics

3. Mathematics

4. Computer Science

5. Biology/Chemistry

6. Nursing

Remember that the difficulty of a major is subjective and may vary from person to person. It's essential to find a subject that genuinely interests you, as that will help keep you motivated during challenging times. Good luck in finding your passion and pursuing your academic goals!
