Fast-track college degrees that are relatively simple?

I'm interested in speeding up my time in school, but I also don't want to fry my brain in the process. Can anyone share what the fastest, yet simplest college degrees they've encountered are?

Absolutely, I understand you're seeking degrees that would allow you to fast-track your education while not overwhelming you academically. Many universities now offer accelerated degree programs that enable students to finish in less than the traditional four years, so there are quite a few options out there to consider.

Firstly, I'd like to highlight Business Administration as one such degree option. Business programs often allow for a practical application of concepts that some students find more digestible than purely theoretical course work. Also, many universities offer accelerated Bachelor's to Master's options, which would speed up overall time in schooling.

Secondly, Communications is another typically versatile and expedited degree. This field is broad and can encompass various concentrations like mass communication, public relations, journalism, and digital media, making it applicable to a number of careers.

Psychology could also be an interesting choice. Even though the subject matter can get quite intricate, undergraduate programs often provide a good balance of broad overviews and interesting, detailed concept study which can keep things engaging without getting too overwhelming.

However, any degree can be challenging and depends largely on your personal interest in the subject, learning style, and workload management skills. An accelerated program will still mean a heavy course load, even if individual classes are considered simpler or easier than others. And remember, while it's good to graduate quickly, the ultimate goal is to have a strong grasp of the subject matter in your chosen field. It might be beneficial to discuss your options with your academic advisor to ensure you're making the right choice for your future career goals.
