I'm sure there has been a thread about it sometime but I can't search for it...

Anyways...I was thinking about it earlier this morning and I'm just curious.

Ag-anything and kinesiology.

Those majors are a joke. I always wonder why people get such degrees when they are not even applicable anywhere outside of texas, especially if you don't get into a professional school...

Actually, most of our football players are majoring in Ag Leadership.

I assume that's the easiest major on campus.

believe it or not, agricultural does not just exist in Texas. in fact, agriculture is a world wide industry.

Follow the football team.

Usually a safe bet.

Pretty arrogant statement to say anything with an AG in front of it is the easiest major. So I guess Biochem or Genetics are easier majors than yours?

I've heard kines majors have to take some tough science classes.

I would also throw RPTS in the mix for easiest major. Ag Leadership takes the cake though.

The stupidest girl I have ever met has a kinesiology degree from A&M. The major is a joke and 'fun' majors usually are.

Education actually has to take quite a bit of science and math classes. They do get a BS degree out of it.

Yeah my wife is in Elem Ed. She has had to take Math 141 and 142 and a Biology and Chemistry and Statistics. Obviously not as tough as Engineering Calc and Physics, but not as easy as Ag Leadership.

Ag leadership has to take all of those courses as well. Except Chem

What exactly does one do with an Ag Leadership degree?
Aggienk

From what I have heard, the top three are...
Communications
RPTS
Ag Leadership

I know a few COMM and RPTS majors and they confirm their place on the list.

Hmm I'd guess it might have to do something with Agriculture. Maybe some leadership? I could be wrong.

Got it. And what position(s) in a company does this degree qualify them for, wise ass?

no way dude. one of my good friends is a kinesiology major and his science classes are a JOKE. i hate to make fun of the guy, but he learns crap that most freshmen in high school learn.

on top of that he goes and plays ultimate frisbee and basketball as required courses. its almost comical.

I have an Ag Leadership degree, and it can be easy or hard, just depends on the person and how hard they decide to challenge themselves. Just because it may be easy at times, does not mean it is not useful. Furthermore, I would not say that anything with Ag in front of it is easy, and to say that Ag only exists in Texas that is a pretty ignorant comment. Hungry, naked, and cold. That's where you would be without Ag

History was pretty easy, that's what I did, but good luck finding a decent job.

We had Math 311 classes sandwiched between the elementary Ed math classes, it was funny because ELEN majors having courses between ELED. In case you dont care to read my ramblings, this whole story is about how stupidly easy Education math courses are and how whoever says they are hard must have had a stupidly easy major as well. Its pretty clear that they are not hard when you arent allowed to take the education 3xx and 4xx math courses for a minor in math, because the math department thinks that they are so easy that they dont count.

Anyhow back to the girls that fill the MRS building .. they had a pink quiz one time on the tables and we handed it to our prof Hal Schenk and we all laughed about it the rest of the course.

There were two fractions, with a box between them and the quiz said (=,>,< and the girl was supposed to put one of those in the box, instead .. there was a "?" .. it was just two normal every day factions it wasnt even something like 4576/85403 or something stupid that you would have to break down into smaller fractions and add to figure out, it was ike 5/11 and 9/13 or something pretty damned obvious. So while we are doing n-space matricies by hand .. and we are like "dude this sucks Hal" he said "What, you are engineers, do you expect the pink quiz?"

Oh .. and yeah .. RPTS, Elem Ed, Comm, AgLeadDev, basically all the majors that you wash out to after you fail at all the other majors.

Ag Development is probably an easy major, and most students that major in it have never and never do want to have anything to do with agriculture, they found and an easy major and went for it. But agriculture is one of the most admirable professions there is, lots of hard work and no guarantee that you will get anything back if weather doesn't cooperate. But without farmers and ranchers this country would be in bad shape.

Kinese majors do have to take physics i know but other than that im not sure whats hard. I can confirm RPTS as one of the top 3, I took an upper level RPTS class for cult. div. credit and was astonished by the lack of intelligence in the room. Its definitely a BS degree! Ag Leadership probably gets the most votes though, thanks to football players who set the standard.

University Studies is as easy or as hard as you make it. I am US with Business and Econ as my two minors. That is not easy. It may not be as hard as being a Business Major but it is no walk in the park!

Kines-exercise science majors have to take OCHEM 1 + 2, MICR 351, GENE 301, BICH 410 and 411. Those don't sound easy to me.

WHAT??? IT IS?? Its so funny to think that ag majors have it all easy and that there is no reason to get a degree in it. Thanks for those who get it.

Your welcome for food, shelter and clothes.

they dont take ochem dude...sorry.

chem 101/102, phys 201/202, and biol 111/112 are the hardest sciences they ever have to take...

trust me. ive found this out.
