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