In Japan, when college students talk about what they are majoring in, they will use せんこう nearly 100% of the time. That is the official term.
せんもん is used mostly by professional workers to refer to their areas of expertise. Many graduate students actually use it but not undergrads. The word itself is not out of date at all.
