<p>I looked at it from a time commitment standpoint, as well as attrition. For dance performance and management, they’re in class for a good part of the day, and have dance groups they belong to. They also are at a high risk for injury and they ave to do weigh-ins, which a lot of people don’t like, so there’s a high attrition rate. For Dance ped, they’re in classes from 8am-8pm, though they don’t have to do weigh-ins, and most people seem to stick with the major. The Entertainment business majors have a ton of work to do all the time, including mandatory working on all the dance shows. They actually have a pretty low attrition rate, and I know of several people that have transfered into the major as well. Music majors are in classes for many hours, though for few credits, and besides performance work and practicing, they also get a ton of work from music theory. And biology majors are always doing homework and were the best 5th I could think of…</p>
<p>By the way, I dance and play several instruments/sing, so it’s not based on difficulty.</p>
