I'm currently majoring in computer science and there's just too much math in it for my liking. Does anyone know of any majors that has only simple math?

communications/journalism/public relations/etc. However, be prepared to write!
Also education in an area other than math and science.

I graduated with a degree in CS but it wasn't math that got most people since a typical CS major will do one year of Calculus and a quarter (or semester) of differential calculus and maybe some kind of probability/stats class. I do not recall any CS courses that required heavy math, maybe except for a little bit of boolean logic. People passed their math classes even if it took them multiple tries. What made most people drop out were the long programming assignments.
Anyway, if CS is still not your thing, most of non-science and non-engineering majors have easy math classes. Some of the business related majors such as economics, accounting, and management science have a little more math than others. But as far as I know, no university will let you graduate with no math at all. But one thing you should think about is what you will do with a degree that has little math because the last time I checked, there wasn't a high demand for them out in the job market.

Excellent question! To my understanding, however, unfortunately all these options given by people do still require math.? As one poster mentioned, "only" statistics being required in some majors - yes, but in order to take statistics one must take all the prerequisite math courses to get to statistics!
This college set up with math being a requirement for all degrees and majors is really wrong and illconceived in my feeling!
It may be pushing me away from completing a college degree myself, as i really detest math and pretty much dont get it. Am far more rightbrained myself, and just dont enjoy math. If were going to major in chemistry or math then sure, taking math classes makes sense.
But if were interested in artistic fields, psychology, social arts, and many many other fields it is as someone else recently said absurd and a complete waste of time, money and energy and a ripoff to have to take math courses as a requirement for completion and graduation for a aa or ba degree.
So the schools are losing many people who would otherwise be interested and or able to complete degrees in areas which they actually care about and are interested in due to this countries misguided insistance on math requirements for college degrees.
Some people learn differently, like myself - somatically, kinesthetically, visually, etc..
Math i just dont get it, and it just feels like a huge waste of time for the most part. Laborious busy work that isnt that important in the grand scheme of life and love.

Why do not you attempt digital engineering, with a view to turning out to be a digital built-in circuit ("chip") fashion designer? it somewhat is a lot extra a mathematical than a medical discipline.
