Which is considered the easiest major in college?

Look, I know the idea of an 'easiest' college major is subjective, but generally, which subjects are seen as less rigorous or less demanding in terms of workload and difficulty? Anyone have any insights on this?

While it's important to note that all majors come with their own unique set of challenges, it's fair to say that some majors may demand less workload or may be seen as less rigorous academically. This usually depends on the approach of the program at individual colleges and on a student's strengths and interests.

That being said, in terms of fewer required credit hours and less study time outside of class, a major like English, Communications, or Elementary Education might be considered less demanding compared to majors like Engineering or pre-med related disciplines. Education majors, for example, are sometimes seen in this light (though the responsibility of teaching children is far from easy).

Keep in mind, some of these 'easier' majors could require more interpersonal skills, presentation skills, or creative solutions to problems which might fit some people better. For instance, a sociology major might not demand as many hours studying as a Computer Science major, but it might ask students to think critically about race, class, or gender in a way that is challenging in its own right.

In the end, it's typically best to choose a major based on what subject you are passionate about rather than its perceived difficulty level. You would do better studying something you love rather than something you perceive to be easy. Failure to do so often leads to lower job satisfaction and regret further down the line.
