Easiest Science Course in College

Hey everyone, I've been thinking about my major and course load for college. I'm not the best at science, so I was wondering, in your experience, what's considered the easiest science course in college? I'd appreciate any advice!

While it's always important to realize that "easy" is a subjective term and depends on the individual's interest and skill set, some college science courses are generally known to be less intense, especially for non-science majors.

A couple that come to mind are:

1. Astronomy: This course often requires less math compared to other science courses and tends to focus more on observation and understanding the universe, giving you a broad perspective on space and our place within it.

2. Environmental Science: This is a multidisciplinary course that combines a range of sciences to understand our environment and humanity's impact on it. You'll cover a range of topics like ecology, climate change, biodiversity and sustainability.

3. Geology: This course involves understanding the Earth's processes, structures, and materials over time. If you're interested in the natural world around you, geology is a fascinating subject.

4. Psychology: It is a biological and behavioral science but is often more grounded in concepts rather than computation. If you're interested in understanding why people behave the way they do, a course in psychology could be a great fit.

Remember, what makes a course easy or hard, often depends on your interest and engagement with the material, so it might be a good idea to look for a science course in an area that you find intriguing. Research the professors and the syllabus of the courses offered at your college to better understand what might suit you. Always remember that a class is more enjoyable when it's on a topic you find genuinely interesting.
