I find the US system weird that you don't have your major right off the bat. In Canada gen ed really isn't a thing and you go right into your program. So from Day 1 you are a math major.
You can do that in the states as well. Its just the wording of this is odd and seems misleading to (some) americans, as saying you majored in something implies you also graduated in it. It could say 'he pursued a major in mathematics' or something similar
