Major: a subject or field of study chosen by a student to represent his or her principal interest and upon which a large share of his or her efforts are concentrated: 'History was my major at college.'

Thank you for your explanation.

Still, is "I am an English major there" correct English? Is it as good as "English is my major there"?
