Estestvennaya spetsial'nost' - I found some other examples of its use:
1) Кафедра иностранных языков по техническим и естественным специальностям была организована в 1986 г.
Here it appears to mean 'natural science'

2) Институт экономики, права и естественных специальностей, Краснодар. (ul. Sormovskaya d.12/6) Полная информация о ВУЗе. 
It could mean the same here as there is one course on 'geo-ecology'.

That'n stumped me, too. "Natural major"??? Makes no sense.

AFAIK there's no corresponding entity, so all you can do is translate
the words.
