That depends on the context. The present perfect would only be used if the study was recent, ongoing, or relevant to the present.

A: My grandmother went to college many years ago.
B: What did she study (back then)?

A: My daughter has been in school for a long time because she keeps changing her major.
B: What has she studied (so far)?
