Looking through a course catalog and reading endless course descriptions might be a daunting experience especially when all you need is an easy course to fulfill a general requirement. Bowling Green State University has a lot of courses of very different difficult level. Typically, classes in the 1000-2000 level are easiest but that isn’t always the case. In this article I will explore the top 10 easy classes to take at BGSU.

GSW 1110 will be a requirement for anybody attending BGSU, but it is a very easy class to get through. Many people are able to skip past the class based off of a writing placement test or taking a composition class in high school but the class is easy and can be taken online.

ACS 2000 teaches about the culture of America and many think that it is a very simple class. This class will teach you about the problems within our culture as well as the things that are great about it. Odds are, you will learn something new about our culture that you would have never guessed. It’s a class worth taking.

It is a great way to fill the social science requirement.
