1) Nuclear anything.

2) Accounting(I'm trying to get my degree in this, too much math!)

3) Pre-Med(You have to take a lot science classes.)

4) Pre-Law(I don't know, I think Law School is tough? My friend's brother is in Law School at Ole Miss and all he does is drink beer and complain about market saturation, I've never seen him studying.)

5) Finance

6) Tie between Psychology and Anthropology?

7) Any Liberal Arts

8) Economics

9) Probably some kind of Engineering(they don't have to take a lot of hard science classes but I heard they have a lot of written homework).

10)Tie between Computer Science and Nutrition/Exercise Science

11) Business Administration/Marketing

12) Philosophy

13) Journalism

pre-law really isn't a major. You don't need any specific type of degree to go to law school.

that being said i would move Poli Sci (pre-law) a little further down the list. it really isn't that hard.

Depends on the school. It can be hard as balls depending on where you are.

I'm an accounting major(or trying to be) and I don't know anyone that studies more than me and my classmates.

Just because you study a lot doesn't mean it's hard. It could just mean that you're retarded.

I would put math over anything but physics and maybe chemistry, the engineering and computer science next, mis, quant finance, it starts kind of running together at this point.

Generally amount of math requires is a major factor in the difficulty of the coursework/

The quality of the math plays a far bigger role in the difficulty of a major than the quantity of it.

Accounting has a great deal of math, but not much of it is all too advanced.

I took a computer science class and it wasn't all that hard, all we had to do was make spreadsheets in Microsoft Excel and learn how to adjust margins in Microsoft Word.

I can't see how Computer Science would be that high.

I'm guessing it was an intro to computer science class?

That sounds more like an ISDS class than a CS class. Not true Computer Science.

I plan on majoring in Journalism and from what I have ssen it does not look that difficult.

Like HJJ said, Missouri and Northwestern journalism is going to be more difficult than Delta States. Depends on the school.

Generally you have to build up to the advanced techniques so quantity usually means difficulty but you are correct.
