Easiest Majors to Pursue at Ohio University?

I've received admission from Ohio University (Go Bobcats!). I'm now trying to decide on a major. I was wondering if anyone could chime in about which majors at Ohio University are perceived as less demanding or easier to manage in terms of workload?

While it's understandable you're on the hunt for a major with a manageable workload, it's crucial to remember that the concept of 'ease' can be quite relative and hinge greatly on a student's individual strengths and interests.

However, based on general perceptions and feedback, students often find certain majors like Communication Studies, Sociology, and Recreation and Sport Pedagogy to be less demanding in terms of the rigor of coursework and amount of out-of-class hours needed.

Communication Studies, for instance, mostly focuses on the study of how people process, analyze, and interact through various forms of communication. So, if you're good at understanding and applying abstract concepts, this could be a fit.

On the other hand, Sociology involves studying social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. It’s seen as less challenging as the classes often involve discussions and dialogues rather than dense technical content.

Recreation and Sport Pedagogy major prepares students to promote physical activity and wellness throughout diverse communities.

Still, it's best to choose a major that aligns more with your personal interests and career goals than ease of workload alone. An 'easy' major may not help future career prospects if it's not in a field you're passionate about. Browse the program descriptions on the university's website, consider what you enjoy studying and where you see your career heading before making a decision.
