Without seeing the exact application it is a little hard to tell for sure. However, based on the language used and a typical line of questioning on job applications, I think it's really pretty simple.

The employer is most likely looking for a very generic or general answer about the subject matter or your studies in either high school or college or both.

If it's in regard to high school, the typical answer you will probably want to use is something like "general studies" or "general education." This is because high school is meant to cover a number of areas rather than one specific focus.

If the form is referring to college, that changes things a bit. You should list your college major and any minors you are perusing if that applies. For example, based on my educational background, I would have written "Journalism and Mass Communications with a minor in English".

Good luck on the job search.

The question is exactly what it reads as.

Example Special Study: You graduate college with a degree in Forensic Science. What they are asking is did you take any other course related to this field or outside this field of study that were not part of the Curriculum.

Research Work: Staying with your course of study for this example. You could have chosen to research the work done by the L A Forensic Lab on the O J Simpson case to see if you would come up with different conclusions.

The above are examples of what they are asking for and would depend on your course of study. In almost all courses there are special subjects of study related to the course not covered in the curriculum. There is also research work that the instructor can assign or you can participate in.

Basically they want to know what special skills you have obtained that would help you in that line of work.
