The term ‘Degrees’ refers to the level of education that you have completed or wish to pursue at a given point in time.  For example: Bachelor’s / Associate / Master’s / Ph.D.  are the degrees.  Thus the term degree denotes a stage that you have successfully completed or are going to complete in the course of your academic career.

The term ‘Majors’ on the other hand is used in connection with the program of study, your concentration or the field of study that you wish to pursue at a particular college or university. for example: Computer Science/ Engineering / Fashion Designing are the courses you wish to major in.  Thus the term major denotes a area or field in which you wish to develop your knowledge and skill-set.

The terms degree and major though closely inter –related mean two different things. For example students could pursue a Bachelor’s degree with Computer Science as a major; or a Master’s degree with Mechanical Engineering as their major.  Both degree and major are used in conjunction with one another to give a complete and accurate picture of an individual’s academic profile.
