Most Difficult Major to Pursue?

Hello! Just out of curiosity, which major do you guys think is the most difficult to pursue? I want to challenge myself and I'm trying to get an idea of what to expect academically in college.

While it's difficult to pinpoint one major as the most difficult for everyone, certain majors are generally considered more challenging due to their demanding coursework and time commitment. Some of these majors include:

1. Engineering

2. Physics

3. Mathematics

4. Computer Science

5. Pre-med/Biology

6. Chemistry

It's important to note that the difficulty of pursuing a major depends on your aptitude and interests. What may be challenging for one person might be easier for another. If you're passionate about a subject, you might find it more engaging and less difficult than another major that doesn't interest you as much. So when choosing a major, consider both the challenge and your genuine interests to ensure a successful and enjoyable academic experience.
