Abstract: A survey of college students’ academic pressure under the background of epidemic prevention and control was conducted using the college students’ academic stress questionnaire compiled by Tian Lan and Deng Qi. The results show that under the background of epidemic prevention and control, college students’ academic pressure is generally greater. The top three pressures are the pressure of learning prospects, the pressure of parents’ expectations, and the pressure of learning effectiveness; in the two dimensions of the pressure of learning prospects and the pressure of parents’ expectations, female students are more stressed than male ones, and liberal arts students are more stressed than science students; freshman students have the greatest pressure on their academic performance, freshmen and sophomores have greater pressure on their schoolwork, and junior students’ pressure on learning conditions is larger; college students with different family economic conditions have significant differences in their academic pressure. College students with poorer economic conditions feel the most academic pressure, followed by students with average family economic conditions, and college students with wealthier economic conditions have the least academic pressure; college students with low academic performance feel more pressure on schoolwork than those with higher academic performance.
