I’m assuming science major, means that he got a bachelor of science or BS degree (no pun intended) rather than a bachelor or arts or BA degree. Both are undergraduate (4 year degrees) however the BS has some degree of background in science - i’m assuming requiring an intro chem, bio and math classes (possibly more depending on the institution). Approximately 1/2 of the coursework is considered ‘general education’ and has no relevance to the specific major, the other 1/2 is somewhat related to the specific major, but may be only tangentially related - for example pre-med students may substitute plant physiology classes with human-anatomy and physiology courses for a physiology credit at UH.
