No, major refers to a specialization that US undergraduate schools require for obtaining a BA/BS degree. For instance, my undergraduate degree is a BA in History. To obtain the major, a person has to take more numerous, and more advanced, classes in that particular focus than is otherwise required for the Bachelor's degree. Particular requirements for the majors vary depending on the major and the school at which it is obtained.

A minor is a lesser specialization in a different subject than the major. Many schools do not require minors and they're not generally very useful for anything beyond personal knowledge.
