Just got accepted to Towson and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on which majors are considered the easiest? Fully aware that 'easy' is subjective, but some insight would be great.
Congratulations on your acceptance to Towson University! You're right that the concept of an 'easy' major is usually subjective and tends to depend on an individual's skills and interests. Most academics would advise choosing a major based on what you are passionate about rather than perceived difficulty.
However, some students find certain majors to be less challenging due to their less intensive course requirements. At Towson, some of these perceived ‘easier’ majors might be Communications, Business Administration, or Sociology. These are often considered less rigorous due to their lack of heavy science or math-related coursework and more emphasis on social and theoretical concepts, which some students find easier to grasp.
Again, this entirely depends on what you find to be personally challenging or easy. If you're great at analyzing social patterns and macro trends, Sociology might seem easy. But, if you excel in logical reasoning and problem-solving, Business Administration could be the easy route.
My advice would be to take some general education courses in your first year to figure out what you enjoy and what comes naturally to you. Then pick a major based on what aligns with your academic strengths and future career interests. Good luck with your journey at Towson!
