I am a PA (physician assistant) and its hard too. Take the same pre-reqs as pre-med but more upper level biology plus anatomy and physio. When I was in PA school, during the first year was mostly class work. That was hard due to all the information need to memorize and learn was thrown at you all at once. I'm sure med school is the same. Had exams every week. I was excited to use all the things I learned for clinicals. Clinicals are waay better in my opinion. Med and PA school are both hard to get into and need really good grades to get in. Even if you have a high overall and science gpa and your application is overall great, you still won't get in. They are both hard. I would say anything with IT, engineering, chemistry, and physics are really difficult majors. It depends on your interests too. I did better in biology than chemistry and physics due to having a high interest in biology.

I heard physics, sometimes specified as astrophysics, as some also mentioned here :D. That's what I studied, and for me it was not crazy difficult because I had a passion for it.
For me it would be math, it is too abstract by itself, so as long as it is not applied, like in physics, then I am loooost and have little motivation to learn.
I would think studying to be a doctor, one who treats patients and prescribes medications, from what I heard it takes 4 years for schooling and 4 years for
residency some doctors make a good one, while other ones are quacks we
have a few doctors are retiring, some retired last year and some are retiring
this year this one doctor is age 72 and his daughter, is age 29 and I believe
she will be taking over his practice
Astrophysics must be one of the most difficult. Since, in order to obtain your major, you need to minor in almost every other earth science, as well as planetary geology, astrobiology, helioseismology, the list is endless. Not to mention, advanced calculus and, advanced physics.

The hard sciences and mathematics. Honestly, to me it doesnât matter how difficult the majors are because college is set up to where if you work hard studying and understanding the material then you will do well. Itâs not exactly about inherent intelligence or IQ.
Architecture, Chemical Engineering -- https://blog.prepscholar.com/hardest-college-majors
Well from what I hear engineering.
My friend was majoring in computer engineering and apparently that's what drive him to drink in college. Not the kind where you're social and partying.
This is the kind where he keeps a bottle of jack in his desk and pours himself a glass. He ultimately changed majors a few times and just recently graduated.I have an MS in Mechanical Engineering and it took a lot out of me lol. Canât really speak on behalf of other majors
Physics, Biochemistry, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, Molecular Biology
Computer science engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, basically all sub branches of engineering.
Core theoretical physics cources are hardest. Theoretical particle physics , cosmology , theoretical non linear dynamics , pure mathematics. Astrophysics is tough but most of astrophysicists aren't actually hardcore physicists. Experimentalists mostly analyze data or make instruments and they work in large groups. Medicine , engineering fields are way easy compared to that but for general people they are tough
English. Because words are the most powerful alchemy known to humans. In the beginning was the word and the word wasâŚ. STEM and business majors always shame and trash âsocial scienceâ majors because these knuckle dragging savage chowders are too thick and dumb to read Milton. Much less write on a level that will change the culture and the world.
Anything that doesn't interest you or anything that you are not really passionate about.
Science and engineering. Also conservatory programs in the arts.
That depends on what you are good at. For most people physics would be very difficult but not for someone that excels at math since physics requires the same type of logical brain that math does.
What is difficult depends on you. Some love maths but abhor history. Others are barely numerate, but love law. Are you aiming to challenge yourself, or find out what to avoid?
Well all and none
depends on the student's strength and weaknessesThe ones that will give you the best chance at making a living.
I majored in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. They were both really challenging.
Donât listen to any of these other people. They donât know what they are talking about
biochemistry is the hardest major.
organic chemistry II is the most failed course in college historyThe one for which you don't have aptitude and neither hold interest in
At this time everything you learn in the first 2 years of computer science or programming is obsolete by the time you graduate.
I would think medical doctor, quantum physics, mathematician, and chemical engineering
Most health related courses, I assume. Becoming a heart surgeon seems a lot harder than comp sci.
