Easiest major for college athletes?

Yo! I'm a prospective college athlete, and I'm prepping to balance intense training and academic commitments. Can anyone share what's considered as the least demanding major for college athletes? I want to make sure I'm getting a well-rounded education without burning out.

Well, it's important to strike a good balance between academics and athletics. That being said, a less demanding major can be different for everyone, as it depends on individual interests, skills, and career goals.

Communications, Sociology, or Business Administration are often considered manageable by many student-athletes due to their flexibility and applicability to various career paths. But don't just choose a major because it's perceived as "easy". It's far more beneficial to select a major that aligns with your interests and future goals.

Take time to understand your career aspirations and choose a major that can serve as a strong foundation. Remember, you want to make sure you're pursuing a degree that you genuinely enjoy and that will be beneficial even after your athletic career.
