<p>My kid is a late bloomer, has fragile confidence, has done well in community college, and is interested in Marine Biology and Textiles & Apparel. Are any of these majors "less-rigorous" or "less-competitive" at UT? Or what are some majors (if any) in the College of Natural Sciences that would be less-rigorous or less-competitive?</p>
<p>The Textiles and Apparel major is quite competitive for admission.
[College</a> of Natural Sciences | Undergraduate Catalog, 2008-2010 | University of Texas at Austin](<a href=“http://registrar.utexas.edu/catalogs/ug08-10/ch12/ug08.ch12a.html]College”>http://registrar.utexas.edu/catalogs/ug08-10/ch12/ug08.ch12a.html)</p>
<p>I do not know that Marine and Freshwater Biology (BS) major is unusually competitive for admission. The following chemistry classes are required:</p>
<h1>Chemistry 301, 302, and 204.</h1>
<h1>Chemistry 210C, 310M, and 310N.</h1>
<p>A year of organich chemistry will certainly be rigorous. Did you mean less competitive to get into or less competitive to complete?</p>
<p>I was looking for less competitive to complete.</p>
<p>Human Development and Family Sciences or Human Ecology, perhaps? Don’t know much about them, they don’t sound hard, and I didn’t even know UT offered such majors until ten seconds ago. </p>
<p>However, all majors in natural sciences require some amount of chemistry, biology, physics, math, etc, so in that sense, NONE of the majors are “easy”.</p>
