The Guinness Book of World Records does not rank toughness of courses. Recently Facebook users have been posting statuses bragging that their field of study in college was ranked the toughest by the Guinness Book of World Records.

The status usually looks like this:

"Engineering" has been chosen as the 'toughest' course among all the courses including BCOM, BCA, IAS, IPS and MBBS; by the Guinness Book of World Records, on 18 Aug 2010. It has 58 university exams + 130 series exams + 174 assignments within 4 years (max. 750 working days). All engineers post this on your wall for at least 2 hours & be proud to be an engineer!...

Problem is, Guinness does not keep such records about the "toughness" of college courses/fields of study.

That said, here are some courses Facebook users have claimed are the toughest, based on number of exams, assignments and years to complete.

  • Bachelors of Science in Nursing
  • Bachelor of Science in Architecture
  • Bachelor of Science in Engineering

As of my last update, the Guinness World Records does not specifically list The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) as the toughest degree to obtain. The difficulty of obtaining a degree can vary depending on individual strengths, challenges, and personal circumstances.

I'm in an 11 month Accelerated BSN program right now, one of the fastest one in the US... while it is by no means easy, and we are fully being prepared for Master's and Doctorate level work, I can certainly think of things that would be more difficult. Also, I can't find this on the Guinness site at all, so I'm assuming this isn't true...

However, I really don't say that to discount BSN programs at all, healthcare is a team approach and our instruction and education is easily on the level of an MD from not that long ago ... Nurses are by no means the servants they are sometimes portrayed as on TV ... It's very rare that I see the Doctor's on House do any procedures or interventions that wouldn't be performed by a nurse in real life :)
