Most fun majors to consider in college?

Hey! Junior in the house prepping for my future college life. I'm thinking about choosing a major that really interests me and isn’t necessarily mainstream. Any suggestions on what some of the most enjoyable majors are in college?

Hey there! It's fantastic that you're looking to follow your passions and interests in college. The "most fun" major will vary significantly depending on what you personally enjoy and feel passionate about. However, I can give you some unconventional majors you could explore.

1. Wine Studies: If culinary topics, chemistry, and agriculture appeal to you—and on top of that, you're a wine enthusiast—consider this major. Schools like Cornell University offer programs that allow you to explore the viticulture and wine industry.

2. Pop Culture: If you often find yourself dissecting the latest films, music releases, and trending fashion, this could feel like less of a major and more of a hobby. Bowling Green State University, for example, offers one such program.

3. Puppetry: A standout for sure, right? You'd learn about the history of puppetry, puppet design and performance. The University of Connecticut is famous for this specialized art program.

4. Comic Art: If Marvel and DC comics shaped your childhood (and adulthood, no judgments here), and you have an artistic knack, schools like Minneapolis College of Art and Design have a Comic Art program.

5. Adventure Education: If you're fond of outdoor activities and interested in education, this could be a unique way of combining both. You could learn about outdoor leadership, wilderness medicine, and more at Plymouth State University.

Remember, what counts as "fun" varies from person to person. The most enjoyable major for you would be one that aligns with your interests and strengths. So, keep exploring and you'll find a range of interesting and unconventional degrees out there. Best of luck with your college journey!
