Top 5 Hardest Majors in College
Psychobiology: This just sounds downright hard and after speaking to someone who was a psychobiology major, she nearly wanted to kill herself and regretted choosing this as a major. Like its name suggests, this major comes psychology and biology into one field. It's like double majoring in two very difficult degrees combined into the same classes, only much harder.
Engineering: For engineering students, their average Grade Point Average is usually .5 points lower than another person's major. Engineering is extremely hard and challenging. It combines physics with math which are both also very difficult. Engineering students are constantly bombarded with job interviews during their junior and senior years. Still, the amount of work you need to put into each course is tremendous and there is no such thing as an easy course in the field of engineering.
Chemistry: A friend of mine is a chemistry major and she has a test and a quiz every single week. Plus, there is no grading curve in the class which means that an unusually large number of students fail the class. By not having a curve, students who can't handle the course load of a chemistry major usually switch majors. This actually helps them later in life because they realize that they couldn't possible handle the rigorous demands of medical school.
Economics: This major is challenging because it applies mathematical principles to everyday and abstract concepts. Many of the terms, drawings and concepts seem like a foreign language to most people who aren't an economics major. The course load is very demanding and economics majors need to be well versed in mathematics and applied mathematic principles. Professors who teach economics expect their students to understand a high level of material and degrade students who have trouble understanding an economic concept in their class.
Physics: The final hardest major I have chosen. As I stated previously with psychobiology majors, science has some very difficult majors. I took physics in high school and struggled and if you ask anyone who has ever taken a college level physics class, it is intense and extremely challenging. Your life becomes your classes which ruins your college experience.

try ARCHITECTURE....
just try if you can balance math,science and art
-Psychology is a very difficult degree.
-Engineering is physics, only with math.
-Your life becomes your classes which ruins your college experience.
-Top 5 hardest majors list doesn't contain mathematics.
These things make it seem very likely that you are retarded. This article deserves nothing but facepalm.
"Your life becomes your classes which ruins your college experience." This is the exact attitude possessed by stupid people and people who do bad in school
a "psychobiology" major wanted to kill herself... that's the funniest thing i've ever heard!! she's psycho for majoring in biology!! but... wait... i thought psychologists help people deal with suicide!! hahaahahahahaa
psychobiology? haha i think you're confused. Biology with a PreMed concentration, yes. That is one of the top ones you are forgetting. It's the same thing as PreMed Chemistry except switch around quantitative analysis with genetics, or whatever upper division biology you have to take. We still have to take physics and organic chemistry. Most biology majors minor in chemistry or biochemistry.Psychobiology is a class I took for fun. Hard major? I'm sure. But I study from 9-12 hours a night. I get around 2 maybe 3 hours of sleep. Psychobiology is pretty much physiological psychology. The name of it may sound more impressive, but it made me laugh when i saw it as the top. My friends in this concentration study less than half what I do. It's a psychology major concentrating in biological aspects. It might look impressive for grad school if she wanted to get a PhD, but other than that, all she can really do is become a psychologist.
I am a biochemsitry major, It sucks
Try taking a full-fledged course in Quantum Mechanics from Stanford or MIT. It is just a ridiculous course and people who take it drop out in the first week. By many it is considered possibly the most difficult subject as of know.
what many of you dont understand is that the questions said "courses" not "MAJORS" so please re-think the comments.
Thanks...
I would say Aerospace Engineering. You need to take at least 2 years of math and physics along with a year of electrical engineering and a couple software engineering classes. Then the last 2 or 3 years are basically aerodynamics, aircraft structures, materials. Basically your combinging EE, CS, MATH, PHYSICS, AND mechanical engineering into one major.
i have a degree in psychology the east thing in the world you are just stupid
