Option 1 (Most Common & Recommended): Only list the Master's degree.
This is the simplest and most common approach. If the context is a resume, CV, or even a publication, emphasize your highest degree. You don't need to explicitly mention the BA.
* Example (Resume/CV): M.S.Ed., History
Option 2: List both, but emphasize the Master's.
If the context requires more detail, you can list both degrees, but clearly indicate the Master's as the primary qualification.
* Example (Resume/CV): M.S.Ed. (History), B.A. History
* Example (Formal Application): M.S.Ed. in History; B.A. History
Option 3 (Least Common): Combined Degree Notation (If Applicable).
Some institutions might offer a combined degree program with a specific notation. If your degree certificate or transcript lists a specific combined degree title (like "M.S.Ed./B.A. in History" or a similar phrasing), use that exact title.
Important Considerations:
* Context is Key: The best way to cite your degree depends heavily on where you're using it. A resume requires a concise presentation, while a formal application might need more detail.
* Consistency: Be consistent in how you cite your degree throughout your resume, CV, or application.
* Institution's Guidelines: If submitting an application or other formal document, always check the specific guidelines provided by the recipient (university, employer, etc.). They may have specific preferences.
In most cases, Option 1 is sufficient and preferable. The M.S.Ed. is the more advanced degree and demonstrates your highest level of academic achievement.
