Yes, I would never say a humanities/social science degree is “easier” to obtain than a math/science/engineering degree. That’s very subjective, and I imagine every field at Rice has challenging aspects. If anything (inserting my own opinion now!) I would say that degrees in the humanities/social sciences have become increasingly under-valued in our society lately.
