I'm not sure what's worse, this list or the people on here bashing some of the degrees. You must all be geniuses.
You have no business giving an opinion on the difficulty of degree programs. Get that ******** out of here. Unless you have multiple degrees in multiple disciplines....then by all means, enlighten us.
There are WAY too many variables between all degrees and their areas of emphases to ever pass judgment in the fashion you are. I HIGHLY doubt you took more than 1-2 general curriculum poli sci, sociology, history, or biology classes based on the way you're speaking about it. I'm glad your singular experience and anecdotal proof mean so much to you, but it's irrelevant and baseless.
Picking on non-stem degrees and singling out fine arts. Whatever program you followed, they did a bang up job instilling critical thought and reasoning ability. Bravo.
Acrobello graduated from Yale with a degree in Political science.
The guy is smart.

Political Science, Sociology and History are difficult programs to go through. I always found them more of a challenge than biology.
It's just a degree doesn't define a genius.

John Scott's also got a mechanical engineering degree.
FYI, most ivy league schools require identical intellectual attributes whether playing sports or not. The only thing being an athlete gets you is entrance compared to an equally qualified candidate.
There is a reason why Ivy league schools don't compete as well in many sports; most students can't meet the criteria to attend, regardless of how great they are at sports.
A bunch of guys that probably got into those ivy league schools because of hockey rather than their smarts. Really? "satisfactory GPA", degrees in Poli Sci, Sociology, History, and HOTEL MANAGEMENT?!
Horcoff, Volpatti, and Greening are all impressive though
...What? That's so off base it's funny. I've taken many poli sci classes and a couple sociology and history ones, and just one biology class and it's not even god damn close. Those are joke majors, you could graduate with a 4.0 while missing half the classes. Sociology are the easiest classes I've ever had. History is rote memorization. Political science you can basically ******** you're way through if you want to. I mean, don't get me wrong, you can get a lot out of these degrees if you choose, but the baseline for graduating with one of them is wayyyyy below any of the hard sciences.
Where did you go to school where sociology is harder than biology? You might as well try and say fine arts is equivalent to mathematics.
Hey all,
I made a list of the 15 smartest players in the league right now (book smarts, not hockey smarts). There are some well-educated players in the league today!

I thought this was going to be about hockey iq, oh well
No they aren't. They are bare memorization. Biology, beyond the undergrad gen-ed level is application and innovation, which is much harder.
As for this article, it seems just to be a list of guys who went to ivy league colleges. That doesn't make them the smartest.
Difficulty depends entirely on the program which varies from school to school, or depending on the major, from state to state. It has nothing to do with the subject matter.
