Are you referring to someone who majors in psychology in college? (I guess you officially call it University?)

I suppose I'm saying 'what is a major'? I think maybe in the UK its called 'graduating' from university. That would mean, for example, getting a degree in psycology.

A major is a specialized course of study. For example, someone who graduated from a US college or university would state that they have a major (or specialized degree) in Psychology, Finance, Biology, etc. Before you can graduate, you need to have completed a certain number of classes in that particluar field.
Does this help?

> _meOh - okay. A 'major' in the U.S. is what you focus your years of study on at the university. For example, if you get a degree in psychology, you would have been a psychology major - my degree is in journalism, so I was a journalism major.
Does that help?

I was just confused because people were saying they are psycology majors etc and I didnt know how specialised that was and if it was in terms of education or career.
Thanks again,
