An education degree is just about the easiest degree one can get.
My opinion is that is the 2nd easiest degree based on my time in college. The EASIEST degree is journalism, aka Chris Wallace. Not much difference, I know.
The University of Missouri has an outstanding journalism school. It is highly respected across the country.
BUT, when I was going to Mizzou 1969-1973, we laughed mercilessly at the J-School majors. It was widely recognized even then as the place to be if you couldn’t hack it in any other department. Even then!
