major in economics
primarno područje studiranja


Explanation:
A “Major” is the field in which a student focuses during the course of his/her degree; primary discipline in which one studies (organic chemistry, psychology, art history, etc.).
When an individual majors in biology, he or she can’t claim to have similar knowledge about engineering even though biology and engineering are both branches of science. Therefore the word “major” (or big programs) is used to segregate degree holders falling under the same general field of study.
On the other hand, there are small programs (minors) that will require the student to take a few courses in the same topic; it is a secondary concentration of courses that often complements the Major. This usually requires completion of 4 required credits in the Minor subject area.
A bachelor's degree is usually one major + one minor. In certain cases, students will do one major + two minors, or three minors, or combinations like that.

- “Degree” is a general term used for college education, while “major” is a specific program of study.
- A degree can be used by students with different majors, while the word major is exclusive to one type of group that specializes in a specific field

U ovom slučaju predlažem sledeće:

- Najčešći negativni osvrti studenata na pitanje povezanosti onoga za što ih je fakultet pripremao i onoga što trenutno rade vezani su uz činjenicu da se većina studenata zapošljava u ICT području, pa i neki od onih koji su studirali na smjerovima kojima to nije primarno područje.
