Yeah, just depends on your school's mindset I guess. Maybe at a liberal arts school, Chemistry or Biology or Physics is a tech major, but at an Engineering school, they're just science. That's my take at least. Not sure how the Navy treats it, I can't remember.

If memory serves me right, Hard Sciences and Engineering majors are considered the same to NROTC, such as Physics, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, etc. Soft sciences like Biology are one step lower. (Sorry Biology majors, I know it's hard stuff, but it's never been considered on the level of Physics and such). Then you have everything else. It may have changed or my memory could be wrong.
Here at Purdue, it's been understood as Science (Chemistry, Physics, Math); Engineering; and Technology (Mech. Engineering Technology, Elec. Engineering Technology, Aviation Technology) are all considered technical majors.
I just graduated with a degree in physics. From what i was told NROTC does not consider the following majors technical, Physics, math, statistics, biology, chemistry, biophysics, biochem. They consider them sciences. And are not looked upon as highly as engineering majors. Any engineering is tech as well as computer science.
