When people say pre-med

Please correct me if I’m wrong.
My co-worker tells everyone that his incoming freshman son is a pre-med major. It makes me crazy. I’ve never heard anyone say, “oh, I have a B.S. in Pre-Med”. Maybe they exist but I haven’t come across any. I understand “pre-med” is a track or study discipline NOT a major.
I asked him specifically what his major was at when he attended registration. He told me a double major in Comp. Engineering and Pre-med. Huh?
