What is the easiest degree to earn at a 4 year university?

Question

I am half way through college and I hate it, but I know I need to finish. What is the easiest degree I can try to earn?

Answer 1

Seriously, this may sound lame, but I'm telling you from years of working with teens/college students: the easiest degree is the one you're most interested in.

If you're just trying to make it through and get the piece of paper, then don't worry about which degree will get you the best jobs. Don't worry about what your parents think you should take. If it's art or music or philosophy or physical education or basket weaving... just take something that you can see yourself at least being half interested in and caring about learning the stuff.

School is a LOT easier when you're interested! Visit the counseling office or career centre and ask for an aptitude/interest test. These tests usually cost big bucks but often students get to write them through their colleges for free. There might be some interesting surprises!

You could also see whether it's possible to have a "general" or "custom" degree program where you pick and choose courses to make your own degree. Some schools, especially liberal arts schools, will let you make your own program if you can show how courses are kind of related to each other and can all fall under one "theme." Your theme could be something like "science fiction" and then under that you make a case for taking some science/tech courses, some literature courses, some history (of science) courses, some art/film courses . . . it never hurts to ask!

Good luck. I think it's great that you've committed to slogging through. Do yourself a favour and take courses that are interesting to you -- it makes a world of difference!

(And on the off chance that you're not interested in anything, or don't know what that is -- look for the easiest profs. That can make a big difference, too!)

Answer 2

There is no easy degree. Everyone thinks their's is the hardest and yours is the easiest.

Fact is, whatever you like studying is easy for you - things you hate are hardest.

The most versatile would be a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts (not "one of the liberal arts" simply "liberal arts" as the major) which is sometimes called "interdisciplinary studies" or "general studies".

It's a degree in everything, or nothing - depending on your perspective. The selection of courses is usually widest.

Answer 3

English, Art History, Philosophy or Psychology.
