<p>How it is at UVA, is it pretty easy(I dare say, easier than Economics at UVA)? I’m looking for a major that gives a decent amount of free time. I’m coming from an Applied Economics background(lots of calculus and statistics) from another school, and I’m deterred from playing catchup with my math skills. </p>
<p>I know I’m asking a rather trivial question, but if anyone from UVA can give me the word out on English majors there I’d love to know.</p>
<p>The English dept has always been strong at UVa. I imagine it would require much time and effort, but just using a different part of your brain than math.</p>
<p>I believe you can get an Economics major at UVa with only two semesters of calc and one or two courses of statistics. Certainly, there are more math-oriented options in economics, but they are not required.</p>
<p>I’m an English major at UVa. The program is rigorous, especially if you’re transferring in (as I did). On average, most of us take three to four English classes at a time, and it is demanding. There is a lot of reading (per class), and the required writing is extensive. Nevertheless, it is rewarding.</p>
<p>The requirements for the major can be found here:

<p>If you have a love for English, then I would recommend majoring in it. If you’re looking for an easy out, however, English is not the answer.</p>
