Pediatrics is not a major, it is a specialty within the career of medicine. To become a pediatrician you must first earn a Bachelor's degree which includes all the prerequisites for medical school, then you must attend medical school for four years, then you apply to be trained as a pediatrician after you have completed your MD degree.

Medical schools are quite expensive and there are few scholarships, but it is possible to borrow the costs of med school. You will get out of med school owing many tens of thousands of dollars, but since you are a physician, you will get a good salary and be able to pay off the loans. It would not be unusual for a new MD to owe $200,000 in school loans when she first gets out of medical school.
