Which Major in UC Berkeley is Regarded as the Easiest?

Hi, I hope you won't mind me asking this. I'm considering applying to UC Berkeley in the next application cycle. I know that 'easy' is very relative, but I'd just like to know: Do people generally agree that there's a particular major which is more manageable than others at Berkeley? Just trying to gather as much info as possible. Thanks in advance!

In general, it's not the best idea to determine your major based on perceived "ease." The workload and difficulty level can fluctuate depending on a variety of factors - the instructors you have, your personal strengths and inclinations, your prior knowledge and experience in the field, and many other aspects.

However, to provide a bit of insight: UC Berkeley is highly regarded for its rigorous academic programs, so there might be very limited, if any, variance in terms of "easiness" among its majors. But considering that each department has different requirements, some majors might offer more flexibility in course selection, which could potentially make for a less strenuous schedule depending on your choices.

For example, some may say that the Interdisciplinary Studies Field as one of the more flexible majors because you can customize your own course of study based on your interests. But even with that, the workload is heavily contingent on the classes you choose and your proficiency in those subject areas.

That being said, I would encourage you to major in a subject that truly interests you and aligns with your career goals, rather than choosing a major because it is perceived as "easy." This approach will make your academic experience more enriching and rewarding. The most successful students are usually those who are genuinely interested in their studies, as their passion drives them to excel even when the coursework challenges them.
