Abstract
We investigated the relationship of student grit to gender, status, and difficulty of major. Results of a brief survey (N = 210) indicated students in hard majors reported higher grit levels than students in easy majors. Gender demonstrated marginally significant effect on grit subscale scores; no effect observed for status.
