<p>Generally, what major seems to be the most easiest and relaxed in colleges across North America? Generally, which major can you always manage to get an "A" in?</p>
<p>Any of the humanities are considered supremely easy compared to the hard science/engineering majors.</p>
<p>Depends on who you are. Truazn is wrong in my case and in the case of one of my children. As an undergrad, I consistently got As in physics from the first day, but it took me about two years to learn how to get As in English lit. Physics is like a hard shell. You have to work hard to crack it, but once you do, it gets easy (at least at the undergrad level. I wouldn't know about what happens beyond that.) English lit. is like chewing on a Sugar Daddy. If you keep gnawing at it, you may eventually be rewarded with something chewy enough to give you some satisfaction, but it might still pull your fillings out if you're not careful.</p>
<p>Another factor is where you go to school. In my experience, you have a high probability of getting As in courses like English lit. if you're very verbally accomplished but your fellow classmates are not. If they are, you'll be competing with brilliant papers they turn in instead of mediocre ones you can simply outclass. The same holds true for hard science classes that are graded on a curve (most of the large ones in most places).</p>
<p>government/politics, perhaps?</p>
<p>Like Tarhunt said, it is soo relative.</p>
<p>I can kick out an A in an English/Comm/Language class easily, but once I get to the sciences, I am completely stumped. But I have a friend who can always get A's in the sciences and never in anything remotely English related.</p>
<p>Chemical Engineering.</p>

<p>I love that analogy.</p>
<p>And I agree -- it's really dependent on who you are.</p>
<p>Perhaps psychology is one of the majors that isn't usually a very difficult major. Not sure, though.</p>

<p>I agree, Biomed's probably up there too!</p>

<p>As a psychologist, I think this is a pretty fair assessment of some branches of psychology. It's not as difficult as English lit. to tease out meaning, because the meaning is evident in the research. Memorization works for a lot of it, so it's just a matter of putting in the time with the books. </p>
<p>On the other hand, neurological imaging advances, improvements in statistical analysis, and a flood of new information in cog psy make upper level courses more difficult than you might think to master. But, once again, your mileage may vary depending on who you are and what you're good at.</p>
<p>Neuroscience? ( how difficult is it in general, b/c i know it depends on the person).</p>
<p>Elementary Education?</p>
<p>Geography.</p>
<p>embroglio:</p>
<p>Once I might have agree with you about geography being relatively easy. I suppose that any class in which one can simply memorize should be classified as easy, and certain aspects of geography are clearly subject to memorization.</p>
<p>Modern geography, though, is taught in such a way that memorization is just the price of entry. On tests, students are often given hypothetical geographies, for instance, and asked for inshights into how four cultures in different parts of said geography might interact and develop, and how they might interact with each other.</p>
<p>Not as easy as you might think, actually.</p>
<p>Women's Studies?</p>
<p>A nearby university has a major in Camping. I'm gonna have to say that...would be the easiest major...ever.</p>
<p>Camping...intriguing. Maybe it could be like an Eagle Scout certification.</p>
<p>Ha. Maybe so..actually..now that I think of it..it's a minor.</p>
<p>Ah, well I was just basing it off of a current sophomore at Georgia Southern...guess that was a bad basis, eh? Haha.</p>
