What is the easiest undergrad. major at USC?

<p>Hey All,</p>

<p>I was wondering what is the easiest undergrad. major at USC?</p>

<p>Because I’m doing a health science professional school so I can choose any major?</p>

<p>Please, any suggestions?</p>

<p>Sincerely,

<p>majors in the school of PPD</p>

<p>Probably Communications.</p>

<p>spiderman,
You have the privilege of attending one of the higher ranked universities in the United States. Your parents, or a scholarship donor, is sacrificing in order for you to take advantage of all the opportunities available at USC. This is your chance to prepare yourself for the challenges of the future.</p>

<p>SC offers academic and physical resources, a great faculty, diverse and creative peers a well as a beautiful campus. </p>

<p>With all of this available to you why are you seeking “the easiest undergraduate major”?</p>

<p>Try engineering, i hear that is a easy 4.0.</p>

<p>Georgia Girl, USC is a very hard school and they have bad professors in science.
uscorberkley, engineering at USC is one of the hardest major.</p>

<p>The “easiest” major will be in a subject that you are passionate about, that you are interested in, and about which you cannot wait to find out more. Why would anyone spend four years of their lives studying something they have no interest in, chosen solely because ithey think it will be “easy?”</p>

<p>If you do not feel you are qualified for USC perhaps you should consider a transfer to a less-challenging school.</p>

<p>P.S. uscorberkeley is employing a complicated language form known as “sarcasm.”</p>

<p>Edit: apologies for the rant, but I just cannot fathom why someone who wants “easy” would even apply to one of the nation’s top 25 universities…</p>

<p>alamemom, I’m going for a science professional school right after I get my Bachelor. I have completed the science prerequisite courses, so all I need now is any B.S. or B.A. in any major and it should be an easy major because I ain’t trying to do engineer that requires me 1+ year of Math, Physics, Engineer courses, and etc. I was recently browsing for undergrad. majors & programs at USC, and I have found this major called; Health and Humanity in B.A. and I also read the major requirements and it came out to be an easy major and a prerequisite-less major :slight_smile: </p>

<p>What do you think?</p>

<p>I have to agree with Georgia Girl and alamemom about this. There are some majors that have a reputation of being “easier”, but you’ll excel most at something you enjoy. If English was considered “easy”, but you despise writing and reading, do you really think you would do well?</p>

<p>akalboy, what’s your major at USC?</p>

<p>just do something that relates to health sciences like BME or sumn</p>

<p>I’m majoring in business, accounting, and sociology.</p>

<p>lol, i was being sarcastic</p>

<p>I guess I would major in Chemistry</p>

<p>choose something that’s easy yet enjoyable for you. there is nothing wrong with choosing a major that has an easier grading scale and less work if your plans are graduate/professional school.</p>

<p>I 100% agree with josebiwasabi</p>

<p>Try to pick a major with the least in-major unit requirements. If I remember correctly international relations only requires 32 units in-major and communications only requires 24. You can easily coast by taking the minimum 12 units, including yoga and dance classes, for four years and still graduate.</p>

<p>^ Umm… don’t you need 128 units to graduate? Taking 12 per semester would give you 12 X 8 = 96. You would be 32 units short of graduation after four years (and at 12 units per semester would need an addiitonal 3 semesters to complete the 32 units… )</p>

<p>[USC</a> Catalogue: Undergraduate Education: Requirements for Graduation](<a href=“http://www.usc.edu/dept/publications/cat2010/undergraduate/grad_req.html]USC”>http://www.usc.edu/dept/publications/cat2010/undergraduate/grad_req.html)</p>

<p>*and there is a limit to how many “yoga and dance classes” may be applied to that 128-unit total. You might want to look into that…</p>

<p>most students come in with 32 units now. i agree that it’s probably almost impossible to graduate in 4 years taking only 12 units per semester but you can definitely graduate in 4 years alternating between 16 and 12 unit semesters if you plan it correctly.</p>

<p>Oh - here is a good spot to put in some financial aid info in terms of units-per-semester. Students receiving financial aid must have at least 12 units per semester freshman year, but after freshman year must average more than that to continue to receive their financial aid:</p>

<p>Freshman year: 12 min per semester, 24 for the year
Sophomore: 14 min per semester, 28 for the year
Junior: 15 min per semester, 30 for the year
Senior: 16 min per semester, 32 for the year</p>

<p>These are Federal rules for financial aid recipients, not USC rules.

<p>*Note: You can get ahead on these by taking more than the minimums freshman-sophomore-junior years so that you do not necessarily have to have 16 per semester during senior year. If you are receiving need-based financial aid it is important to be aware of Satisfactory Academic Progress rules.</p>
