Easiest Subjects to Study in College

I know we're not supposed to pick courses or majors based solely on how 'easy', they are, but senior year is looming and it's got me thinking... what are some easier things to study in college? Anyone have suggestions for majors or courses that don’t drive you to endless nights of studying?

On one hand, the 'easiest' subjects to study in college largely depend on your strengths and areas of interest. Some are naturally inclined towards certain fields, making those courses feel 'easier' for them.

However, some majors are commonly regarded as less intense based on various surveys and studies. Communication, Education, Social Work, and Business may have fewer rigorous requirements compared to majors like Engineering, Physics, or pre-med disciplines.

For individual courses, consider more general education requirements. These classes, like Introduction to Art History or Understanding Theatre, often attract students from a variety of majors and are usually designed to be accessible and enjoyable learning experiences.

That said, it's important to remember that every subject has its challenges, and obtaining a degree requires effort regardless of the field. Going for 'easy' isn't always the best strategy - it's also about finding what piques your enthusiasm. When you're engaged and curious, the coursework can feel less burdensome and more rewarding.
