Is a business degree in college rigorous?

<span style="background-color: rgb(253, 253, 253);">It has been quite a few years since I was a business major. I found it to be challenging and interesting at the same time. </span>

<span style="background-color: rgb(253, 253, 253);">I think if I was in college now, the learning experience would be so different! Computer learning and electronic books didn't exist yet. We learned from books that were updated every few years. Occasionally, a professor would mention a newspaper article. Students today have the opportunity to discuss the potential impact of current events on the topics they are learning about as the events are happening. </span>

<span style="background-color: rgb(253, 253, 253);">Always remember: you get out of it what you put into it. What I noticed while in school was that there were plenty of students who got good grades or bad grades by doing the minimum. Best wishes to you in your pursuits!</span>

Like any major, it all depends upon the school, professor and how serious you take your studies.

Colleges that are well recognized for the business school tend to require more credits for graduation and/or tougher courses in terms of the hours needed to study. They also tend to hire better professors as well.

Certain professors may be better teachers than others. If you happen to get a professor who has poor teaching skills, it will make it more difficult to learn the material. In addition, some professors are harder graders than others and may require may work (reading, papers, tests/quizzes) than more laid back ones.

Last, if you want to do well in school you have to put in the work. That means spending a lot of time reading, studying and doing what you need to do to receive an A. If you just do the bare minimum the courses won't seem as rigorous but your GPA will suffer which will hurt you in the long-term.
