Formal settings (resumes, formal letters, academic publications):
* List both degrees separately, using the correct abbreviations: "Jane Doe, M.Ed., Ed.S." (Assuming one is a Master's and one a Specialist degree. Use the *actual* abbreviations granted by your institution). If one is a Doctorate, it would be Ph.D. or Ed.D., preceding the other degrees.
* List both degrees with the full names: "Jane Doe, Master of Education, Specialist in Education" This is less common in formal settings but acceptable, particularly if space isn't an issue.
* If space is extremely limited: You might prioritize the most relevant degree for the context. For example, if applying for a special education position, you might lead with the Ed.S. However, always ensure you mention all relevant degrees elsewhere (e.g., in a cover letter or on a detailed CV).
Informal settings (email signatures, business cards):
* Use only the most relevant degree abbreviation: "Jane Doe, M.Ed." or "Jane Doe, Ed.S." Choose the degree most relevant to your current role or the audience.
* Combined, informal abbreviation: If it's very short, you could put something like "Jane Doe, M.Ed./Ed.S." However, this can be confusing, so the separate approach is generally preferable.
Important Considerations:
* Accuracy: Use the *exact* abbreviations awarded by your institution.
* Relevance: Prioritize the degree most relevant to the situation.
* Consistency: Use the same format consistently across all your materials.
* Institution: If you want to add prestige, in a very formal setting, you might use "Jane Doe, M.Ed., University of [University Name], Ed.S., [Another University Name]" but this is usually unnecessary.
In short, there's no single "right" way, but clarity and consistency are key. Choose the option that best fits the context and ensures your credentials are presented accurately and professionally.
