Not sure what business school is like, but I'm majoring in MicroEconomics, Management Science, and it's not easy.

At all.

 

P.S. I hate econometrics.


Whats management science?

Micro-Economics.

 

basically, economics.

Hardest -

I think the position goes to Mechanical / Chemical/ Electronic engineering. Over here we call them "the trinity of pain" because each one is hard as hell.

In Chemical Engineering you have a lot of memorization, adding that the laws of physiscs and chemistry that are aplied in many research and lab experimets... Hats off to them

Mechanical Engineering is like mastery of applied physiscs: Thermodynamics, Hydrodynamics, fluids, resistance, applied materials.... etc etc etc. My older brother is a Mechanical Enginner and I admire his knowledge.

Electronic Engineering is a pain when you think that 1 second is too much time (infinity). There's quantum physics, modern physics, electromagnetism (optics), multyvectorial math and geometry. I am major in electronic engineering and It was really though. My mother and older syster quit before the 4th semester (over here you study for 5 years)

Easiest

From what I herad and experimented is business. Looks like your studying to develop good common sense in administration, econimics and of course, business. I might be wrong.

I am majoring in chemical engineering at the moment, and it is a difficult class so I just wanted to ask what you think is the hardest and the easiest undergraduate majors.

Hardest- Chemical Engineering
Easiest- Sociology


I wouldn't go Sociology... you'd be surprised how many people fail out of Soc and Psych programs.

Main reason?  Statistics.    You'd be surprised how many people never are able to grasp statistics. 

A good way to find the easiest majors?   Watch March Madness and watch what majors the players have.  (it's my favoite part of march madness.)

The top choice?  Communications.

Close behind are Buisness/Marketing and History... PE/fitness/health is up there too.

Biology oddly is pretty popular.

Communications is the top choice? LOL, try OLS or Business. And our basketball team has a lot of management majors as well, like Robbie Hummel

Seriously, watch the NCAA tournament, communications is the most popular major.

Buisness is close though... like I said.

The easiest?  Take your pick from anything in the Business School.  There's a reason that people who have no idea what they want to do go there.


Me =(

 

 

 

 

 

I have no dreams.


Looks like I'll go for International Relations instead >.<

 

Anyway I think it's pretty stupid generalizing which subjects are hard or easy it really depends on the university they go to and what the course entails over there. Just like what High said business in Greenwich University is nothing like business in London School of Economics.



"Life is but a gentle death. Fate is but a sickness that results in extinction and in the midst of all the uncertainty, lies resolve."

Of course it really does matter on the person but in general i'd say it goes that way.

For example, i have a degree in pscyhology... and the class I took that was easiest for me... was the class everbody else did horrible on and completely failed and did bad on.


Consumer Psychology.  Same with the Marketing and Economics classes I took.  Were actually easier then a number of the psychology classes I took.   Like physical Psychology.

Statistics I breezed through, like 3 times in different schools.

Of course, that's because I can't memorize worth a damn making the different nerve maps a pain in the ass.

I think a lot of it depends on the person.  I'm breezing through Mechanical Engineering, but I'd die trying to get some sort of musical degree.  I know people who find Chemistry to be incredibly simple. but couldn't do anything with literature to save their lives.



I star university in the fall as a Creative Writing/Film double major. I don't know what to expect.
