University Majors Question

Hi all! Do you guys have any insight on what the easiest majors in university are? I'm not set on anything specific yet and trying to keep all options open. Thanks!

Sure, happy to help! Keep in mind though that "easiest" is quite subjective and can differ based on personal interest, learning style, and natural abilities. What one person finds easy could be another person's biggest challenge!

That said, some students find that majors in social sciences, humanities, or communications, such as Sociology, English, or Communication Studies, might require less intensive study compared to, say, majors in the hard sciences or engineering.

However, I would advise not to choose a major just because it might be perceived as "easy". You should consider what subjects interest you and what kind of career you might want after graduation. You can often find overlaps between what you enjoy and what will be beneficial in your future. Remember that passion and interest can also make a difference in how easy you find a major.

Lastly, remember that each university can vary greatly in how they structure their majors, so while a certain subject might be easier at one institution, it could be significantly more challenging at another. Make sure to check the course requirements for any majors you're considering at the specific schools you're interested in.
