"Major" vs "majoring"

English Language & Usage Asked by Sarawut Positwinyu on October 23, 2020

Which one is correct and what is the difference?

Majoring in Information Technology, xxx University

Major in Information Technology, xxx University

One Answer

The first is a description. For example, if you are a current student you would say:

I am majoring in IT.

If you have already received your major, you might say:

I have a major in IT.

This distinction works on resumes as well. As a current student, you are still majoring in something. If you have graduated, you already have a major in something.
