Which term describes the main subject in a degree program?

• A. Main Subject
• B. Major Subject
• C. Minor Subject
• D. Supplementary Module

Answer: (B)

The main subject in a degree program is the major. This is the primary area you study in depth and usually requires the most credits, shaping your degree’s specialization and the credential you earn. A minor is a secondary field of study that complements your major but isn’t the main focus. A supplementary module isn’t the standard term for the central field of study; it’s more like an additional component or elective. So the term that best describes the main subject is the major.
