What's the simplest college program to follow?

Hey everyone! I've been thinking about my potential majors and am feeling a little confused. I know that no program is truly 'easy', but are there any that are a bit more straightforward or have a reputation for being better structured? Looking for advice.

While each major has its own unique challenges, some are more straightforward in terms of the path you'll follow. Many Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields, for instance, have very clear course sequences. In majors such as Engineering or Computer Science, students progress through a well-defined sequence of courses, often starting with foundational classes and then moving onto more specialized ones. These programs can offer a clear guide through your college years.

Additionally, Business programs often have well-structured paths as well, including core courses on topics such as finance, marketing, operations, and management, followed by more specific courses within your chosen concentration. This means you'll typically have a clear roadmap for your coursework over the four years.

One thing to consider, though, is what you're truly interested in. You might find it helpful to choose a major in a field where you have a strong passion, as this will make the coursework more enjoyable and probably seem less challenging due to your interest. Conversely, a major that is not aligned with your interests or skills, even if it has a well-structured pathway, might appear more challenging due to lack of engagement.

Remember, "simplest" isn't always synonymous with "easiest," and the best major for you will depend greatly on your personal interests, strengths, and long-term career goals.
