Easy Majors at University of Texas?

Hey folks, just trying to figure out a less taxing major to take at the University of Texas. What are some majors that are considered 'easy' or less rigorous?

a year ago

While it's true that some majors may traditionally be seen as less demanding than others, I would caution against choosing a major solely based on its perceived difficulty. Choosing a major should come down to your interests, career goals, and personal strengths more than anything else.

That said, here are a few fields of study at the University of Texas that some students might find less strenuous based on the typical course load:

- Human Development and Family Sciences

- Sociology

- Communication Studies

- Education

Remember, this is a subjective assessment. What one person finds easy, another person might find challenging, often based on where their individual strengths lie. Each of these subjects involve a deep understanding of their field, and there is no 'easy' way to get a degree.

Plus, keep in mind that employers and graduate schools will want to see passion towards the topic you've studied, so it's important to choose a major you genuinely find interesting.

Lastly, if you're looking to lighten your course load, consider speaking with an academic advisor at University of Texas, as they'll be able to help you plan out your four years in college, potentially balancing more intense semesters with lighter ones.
