Is there a difference if a job requires you to "major" in a specific field but you "specialized" in it instead?

For example, if a job requires you to "Major" in Finance or Accounting. But your "Major" is actually "Business" and you "specialized" in finance or accounting.

Does this make a difference in the eyes of recruiters if you "specialized" in the area rather than having the "Major"?
