Most Rigorous LACs

<p>I’m going to say the Academies. </p>

<p>They have a core curriculum which includes 30 hours of engineering and hard math/sciences. Everyone also has to take"soft" subjects like psych, econ, philosophy, english, history, speech, law. The average course load is 20 hours per semester. When you add in summer programs (required for everyone) you graduate with 178 semester hours of credit. </p>

<p>On top of that you have requirements to participate in intramurals and military training to include Saturday morning inspections and parades monthly.</p>
