General Studies.
Most of the time, you dont even have to complete any 3000-level (junior) courses to get a degree in this.

Elementary Education, for the "design a children's book" reason.

Communication Disorders is just plain simple. Sorry if you're one of those, but I just didn't find 4000+ level material hard at all when presented to me.

History can be considered easy, because its just fact-memorization. However, that's a LOT of facts. Buisness has a good bit of "application", so it could require a good ability to apply paper concepts to real-world situations.

While that may be true in lower level courses, in 3000+ courses there's almost no memorization. It's all analysis and research, comparing one era/war/leader to another, charting the flow of ideas and technologies, and reading 5-10 books in order to write one 10-page research paper numerous times a semester. Some of my classes don't even have exams, just massive research papers.

That said, my history major is still easy. :fawk:



It's just not memorization.

Yes, because we all know that therapy never did anybody any good. And that any sort of social program instituted by the government or some health organization is total crap because it was researched by a sociologist. Those damn intellectuals do nothing but sit in their ivory towers, choosing not to mix with us "common folk" and our "social problems."
