I think most bright students can write a critical essay on just about any topic and still do well, but even the brightest students have trouble with complicated math and physics. Anyone can pick up a good history text and understand it - no one has ever thought General Relativity was a cakewalk. Believe me, I know more than enough engineering students that have smoked humanities majors in their own classes. You never see a religious studies major taking linear algebra for fun.
So that's BS that it's subjective - I agree, math, physics, or engineering would be the hardest.

I was a physics major and the hardest for me would be a foreign language, especially Chinese.

Petroleum engineering? It's harder than my major (Chemical engineering)... went to a top school of 50,000 students, my entering class size was 250+, ended up with 70. Petr. eng. class of the same year had 7. Also, much easier to transfer from engineering to regular sciences, liberal arts, or business than the other way around (the 180+ students who dropped out did just that).

Economics? What a joke. Only if you're an art history major.
Math, physics, and engineering are the hardest, by far.

Music. You can learn any other major if you lock yourself in a room and read a book or two, music you have to be born with the talent to do it. With the current competition of music students and how cut-throat institutes and universities are about "keeping up your skill" by far, music is the hardest major in college.

It's all subjective. Engineers are always saying it's the hardest but ask them to write a 30 page paper on the use of the New Testament in African colonization and they'll be crying themselves to sleep at night. And of course it works both ways. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Which is good. I'm glad someone is willing to study engineering because I sure as hell am not. But where would the world be without the humanities majors (we'd have lost Shakespeare by now, that's for sure)? Do what you love and don't listen to the BS about what subject is hardest.

I think the hardest major is what ever you are not good at -- so math or any major that has a lot of math in it would be the hardest major for me -- but if you love math and are good at it -- it may not be the hardest for you....you know what i mean -- it is all subjective...

Don't know about the hardest. I did nuclear engineering - it was a b*tch.

Actually any major can be hard because you make it hard. you have to pick a major that interest you and you know that your heart is going to in that subject, because if hearts not there it will be very hard to concentrate
