i will have to major in chemistry and biology
Tendre que cursar las carreras de quimica y biologia


Explanation:
El termino "to major in any field" equivale a cursar carrera en algun campo a nivel universitario, pero como estudiante de pregrado. No es necesariamente una especializacion o un post-grado. Aunque tambien se utiliza ese termino en las universidades norteamericanas, pero es mas comun en el pregrado que en el post=grado.

Example sentence(s):
  • I major in Romance Languages at the university of Maryland
  • Curse la carrera de lenguas romances en la universidad de Maryland

agree  Margaret Schroeder: "tendrÉ" con acento. That's it. Here in Mexico, it is the only way I have ever heard it expressed.
