Except for languages, such as English, French and Japanese, the names of academic disciplines are not proper nouns and should not be capitalized. This includes references to disciplines in major and minor fields of study.
Do not capitalize:
He is a music major.
He had a major in Biology and a minor in chemistry.
He studied biology, political science, paper science and psychology.
Academic degrees are capitalized only when the full name of the degree is used, such as Bachelor of Arts or Master of Social Work. General references, such as bachelor's, master's or doctoral degree, are not capitalized.
Do not capitalize:
He earned a Bachelor of Arts in 1989.
He earned a bachelor's degree in 1989.
