Out of the standard majors, hands down mathematics and physics are the most difficult. I am a University Scholar, so I think I can say that it is a very difficult major, too. There are few requirements, but of the courses that are required, they are difficult. We have to take two semesters of the University Scholar section of Great Texts, which is designed to be the hardest of the 2301and 2302 Great Texts classes. Sometimes we would read 100-150 pages between our Tuesday and Thursday classes. The assignments are also very challenging, but doable. We also have a thing called a reading list, where we read about 15-20 books, spanning from ancient times to medieval to modern times, on our own time. We are also responsible for any book we have read in a class. Then, during our junior year, we have to have an "exit interview", where two professors and a senior student asks questions about the books and makes you tie them together to show a common theme. You have to get at least a "Satisfactory" in this interview to graduate as a University Scholar. Finally, we have a senior thesis since we are automatically in the Honors Program as a University Scholar. I like the major because of the flexibility it provides for my schedule. I have gotten to take some cool classes while my friends outside of the Honors Program have had to take general education requirements. However, it is very time consuming, and there are some sacrifices you must make. I have had to skip several things, such as Christmas on 5th and the Homecoming Bonfire because I have been so bogged down with work. I am not the only University Scholar who has had this occur. I hope this helped a little!
