The candidate filter Major Category indicates a student's current or past major categories.
- When using segment filters, the students included are determined by looking at all of the student's education details that they've made available on their Handshake profile.
- For example, if you're seeking BA candidates who majored in Business, the results may display students who have completed a B.A degree in that specific degree, and are in pursuit of a higher degree, e.g., Masters.
