My setter method isn't returning the correct value. How should I access the level property to set the major?

I thought that my if statement would correctly access the level property and then use that information to set this._major. However something is going wrong and I'm not sure what it is.

creating_setters.js 
class Student {
    constructor(gpa, credits){
        this.gpa = gpa;
        this.credits = credits;
    }

    stringGPA() {
        return this.gpa.toString();
    }

    get level() {
        if (this.credits > 90 ) {
            return 'Senior';
        } else if (this.credits > 60) {
            return 'Junior';
        } else if (this.credits > 30) {
            return 'Sophomore';
        } else {
            return 'Freshman';
        }
    }
  get major(){
  return this._major;
  }
  set major(major){

    if(this.level === ('Senior' || 'Junior')){
       this._major = major;
    } else {
      this._major = 'None';
    }

  }

}

var student = new Student(3.9, 60);

You have the right idea, but when you combine comparisons using logic operators, each side must be a complete expression:

    if (this.level === 'Senior' || this.level === 'Junior') {

Also, this challenge only asks for a setter method, you don't need to create a getter method.
