Students choose a major that most appropriately suits their personality, skills and interests, and these 15 extreme majors require endurance, focus, physical and mental stamina, and a desire to overcome physical and academic challenges. "Extreme" in this case refers to levels of mental and physical difficulty, strangeness of the discipline, academic rigor, and degree of challenge and excitement.
According to lead researcher, Rowan Jones, "These college majors give students the unique opportunity to embrace an interest, challenge, or field that many institutions do not offer. These academic focuses show how a college student does not have to limit themselves to what might be considered a 'normal' college path. They also show how each academic institution does not limit their students' options, but in fact encourages them to seize exciting opportunities. These majors present students with a level of academic study that they may have never considered."
Each major listed will provide students a solid foundation in critical thinking skills, decision making, communication, and team work—attributes that are highly desired in every work industry. They also give students a new lens through which to view their general education requirements, which is highly beneficial both to the individual, as well as, to the academic diversity of the institution.
