How should education be formatted? Should the student include the number of credits completed, anticipated graduation dates, extracurricular activities, courses completed?
Yes, yes, yes, only if relevant to the targeted field or industry, and yes. Begin your educational listing with the name of the institution, its location, and expected date of graduation. If you don’t plan to complete the program or degree – or won’t for some time to come – you can include the starting and ending dates for the period of time you have completed (2006 – 2008), or you can leave it open-ended (Current). Next, list the amount of credit hours completed (optional) and/or the name of the degree or program being pursued. Listing credit hours is less important if you intend to complete the program. Then, list the relevant coursework you’ve completed (relevant to the positions you’re currently targeting). And finally, include any extracurricular activities relevant to your targeted field or position. You may also want to include awards or scholarships received (optional). Example: Name of Institution, City, State winter 2009 • Bachelor of Science Program: Business Administration
