Accessible Fields of Study in College?

Future college student here trying to figure out my path. I'm open to exploring different fields. Just for the sake of discussion, what's the easiest field/major to study in college according to you? I know it depends on individual strengths but would love to hear your thoughts!

While it's tough to pinpoint one "easiest" field of study in college since it really does rely on individual strengths and interests, some fields are generally perceived as more accessible due to their wider applicability and less rigorous prerequisites.

Business Administration, for instance, is considered one of the more accessible majors. It covers a broad range of topics, such as marketing, management, finance, and economics. This breadth often allows for a gentler learning curve as you're not delving too deeply into any one subject at the start.

Communications is another major that students often find accessible. This field encompasses public relations, advertising, journalism, and interpersonal communication. Here, courses usually involve more practical applications such as presentation skills, writing, and teamwork, which are skills many students have already begun to develop in high school.

Psychology is another accessible field of study. It is a diverse major that offers insights into human behavior, cognition, development, and personality. Many students find psychology interesting, as it relates to understanding people and their motivations.

Lastly, consider Liberal Arts as a major. This field offers a multifaceted approach to education, allowing students to study a variety of subjects, from literature and philosophy to social sciences and fine arts. This provides a broader, easier introduction to college-level studying, and can be a grand option if you're unsure about what direction you'd like to take your studies.

Remember, what is "easy" can be highly subjective, as what one person finds simple, another might find complex. The best choice would be to explore a field that truly interests you since you're more likely to excel in a field you're passionate about. And finally, college is also a time for growth and putting yourself to the test, taking on challenging subjects can yield rewarding results both in terms of knowledge and personal development.
