In my experience, something like 95% of college kids (and really just people in general) are douchebags, so it's hard to really identify a particular area of study that has more of them than another.
Business majors have their share. Of all the business majors, accountants seems to be decent people but the marketing majors are a bunch of tools.

A lot of engineers I knew seemed to mostly only want to talk about how brilliant engineering is. Probably the most arrogant bunch of students I knew.
Them and business grads.
Engineering=hard. (I wasn't even an engineer)
Business=for lazy people that want money.
You are WELCOME.
Responding to the OP, I would say that maybe philosophy majors? Pot-smoking losers that don't add much value to society.

You really believe that there are 5 out of every 100 people who are NOT douchebags. Where do you live? I need to move there! Around the campus in my town, the DB level is much closer to 99%.

You must know very few philosophy majors.
Why must you all judge? Does the time you spend making evaluations of others make you better than the others you are evaluating? Who knows what these people you judge will turn into. They might mean and vindictive and conniving now, but they could turn into quality individuals in the future. We never know what we will be after the unexpected turns of life.
Some engineers can be d-bags, but the reality on the ground is that engineering IS hard and underrespected. So in these case where an engineering comes across as arrogant, it's more of an inferiority complex, than "douchey".
Undergrad business/finance wannabees are DEFINITELY the douchiest.
There are a lot of douches in the lower level math classes, because people think they're hot sh*t for taking calculus 2 or whatever, which is you know, WAY HARDER than the classes their friends are taking. There are less douches in the major classes because people tend to realize just how much they don't know, how the books they're reading were written by someone way smarter than them, and there's always someone who could make them look like a complete tard if they wanted to.
I just tallied up the totals. LRC overwhelmingly believe that undergraduate business majors have the most douchebags. Here are the totals;
MAJOR # VOTED FOR MOST DOUCHES
business 16
liberal arts 4
engineers 2
math 2
Athletes 2
Physical Edu 2
Gynecology 2
pre-law 1
criminal justice 1
computer science 1
art history 1
totals 34
percentage 16/34 = 47%
Wow, are undergraduate business majors really that bad? Why do they stand out so much?
Saying business major is like saying someone is a science major. There's many different areas of business. Marketing, by far, has the most douchebags of any business major.

Interesting. I've always heard of engineering mentioned up there with pre-med and the other elite professions. What have you overhead that has led you to believe it is under-respected?

Pre-med? Please. Pre-med isn't even a major or minor, except at some crap schools. You can major in anything and be "pre-med".
Each major has its own specific type of douche bag. My least favorite kind of college douche bag, though, is the science major who insists on making a big show of how easy the coursework is for him. This is the guy who starts a conversation about study habits just to give himself the opportunity to tell the group that he "never really does anything other than skim the text book the day before the exam," but that he "still managed to get As in both o-chems."
One out of a hundred times, this guy is an actual genius who is also arrogant or socially inept enough to gloat about his abilities. The rest of the time, it's someone who is flat out lying either about the amount of work they put in, or the results they achieve (the latter type can be heard on college campuses across the country saying "yeah, I totally killed all of the med school prerequs without really trying, but I just decided to switch majors to history").
On the plus side, watching these guys get put in their place in the preclinical years of med school can be a source of perverse joy.
In college, there where two types of people: Those who thought they knew everything, and those who wanted to know everything.
SO ATHLETES

Okay... And that contributes to the conversation how?
FWIW, "pre-med" itself isn't generally a major. People usually major in biology/chem/bio-chem etc. and call it "pre-med." I assumed people would find that common sense. Apparently not you. But congrats on your observation. *pat on back*
