I disagree with the other posters on philosophy and art history. I hear someone studied philosophy and think that's dumb. They must not have a future life/career plan and so are unsophisticated. I've read the major philosophers too and have a law degree. I'm just not impressed with "common knowledge of sophisticated people" majors, like philosophy and art history. Smart people have a foundation in those areas regardless of study/major.

Classics (Latin & Greek)

At least, these were the most sophisticated people I knew in college.

As always, it's not just major, it's not just school

It's a school + major combination.

All of the above except pre-med

Anyone can claim they are pre-med until they actually make it to a medical school

Applied math is the exact opposite of sophisticated. Smart but not sophisticated.

I did not find philosophy or literature to be hard subject matters. Reading and analysis. Physics, on the other hand = very challenging. And for me personally, not very interesting. What does "sophisticated" mean? Well read? Is this a troll post?

+1 it’s like claiming accounting is sophisticated.

Art history.


God, you're both SO dumb. If you read the PPs' comments, the discussion morphed into sophisticated vs difficult. So my answer was semiotics for sophisticated and physics and philosophy for hard.


Adding that my applied math experience was used as a comparison to judge the difficulty of the physics and philosophy.
