Okay, so I've been admitted to Temple University and I'm honestly not sure which major I should go for. I've been hearing different things about a couple of 'easier' majors but I could really use some firsthand info. Anyone here could suggest something?
While it's valuable to take into consideration the academic rigor of a certain major, it's also incredibly beneficial to pick a major based on passion and career goals. Something that might seem "easier" to one person might not necessarily be "easy" for another person, as it often depends on personal strengths, interests, and motivation as well. If you're more inclined towards the arts, you might find an arts major easier than a science major and vice versa.
That said, my experience working with students tells me that the Communications and Media Studies is often perceived as less rigorous compared to some majors like Chemistry or Architecture. This is because it usually involves less mathematical and hard sciences. However, it still requires strong writing skills and critical thinking.
Additionally, the Criminal Justice major at Temple University is often said to be more straightforward than some STEM fields – but again, that might not mean it's the 'easiest.' It does involve learning some interesting topics ranging from law and policing to societal issues.
Remember, though, that enjoyment and engagement can often make challenges feel easier to overcome. Consider your interests, potential career paths, and what you want from your college experience before making a decision based solely on easiness. You'll likely perform better in a more challenging major if it's something you enjoy and are passionate about.
