Choosing a Major With Manageable Workload

Hello guys, I'm curious about something. According to college prowler, which majors typically have the least manageable workload? I'm trying to maintain balance during my college years, so this info could help a lot.

While looking at the workload or perceived difficulty of a major can be helpful in making your decision, it's critically important to choose a major that aligns with your interests and career goals. The difficulty or workload of a major can vary significantly depending on the specific school, the student's background and aptitude in the subject, and the level of effort the student puts into their studies.

When it comes to a more manageable workload, some majors that are often cited include Communications, Liberal Studies, English, and Sociology. Conversely, majors like Engineering, Physics, and Biochemistry are known to be more demanding. However, these are broad generalizations and students can still find rigorous challenges in supposedly "easy" majors and easier tracks in "hard" majors.

For example, a student who loves reading and analyzing texts might find an English major manageable, while a student who dislikes reading might struggle. On the other hand, a student who enjoys and is skilled at problem-solving and mathematics might not find Engineering as challenging as a student with different strengths would.

Ultimately, it's best to focus on what you love and are naturally good at, as you're more likely to succeed and enjoy your studies that way. But if maintaining balance is important to you, perhaps look into academic support, specific class requirements, and resources for stress management at your prospective schools as well. They may be just as, if not more, influential to your college experience.
