What is the single word to refer to either a university major or minor?? When used, the speaker does not want to emphasize whether that study area is his/her major or minor in the university, but just one subject he/she is working on.
Personally I would use "study area" to talk about this and I think people can understand without ambiguity. I'm just wondering whether there is a more native word that exists.
Is "discipline" an appropriate word for this case??

Discipline works, as does field of study.
Area of study is not quite as good, in my opinion, but it certainly works better than study area.
