When you go to college, there are courses that everybody must take. These are called required courses. These are courses like general math, general English, some kind of social studies, similar to the core courses you take in high school.
There are also groups of courses from which students can choose. These are called elective courses. So you would choose to take an extra math course in the math group, an extra social studies course in the social studies group, for example.
Your major is the group of courses you concentrate on. At some point in your college career, you "declare a major." That means that you let the college know that you want to take a lot of courses in your chosen area of study. Let's say you decide that you declare French as your major. We would say that you "major in French." In order to major in French, you have to take a certain group of required French classes or prove that you took those classes in high school. After you have taken those classes (called prerequisites, pronounced pre-REK-wiz-its), the college will let you take higher level French classes. That entire group of French classes is called your "major" or your "major course of study."
