How do you list masters credentials on your resume?

When listing a master’s degree on a resume, use the following basic format with the degree name, major, and institution:

Master of Science in Business Administration (MBA)

University of California, Berkeley

If you've earned multiple master’s degrees, place the most recent degree first at the top of your education section. Include years of completion under each degree.

Here are additional formatting suggestions:

* If your master’s degree is in progress, write "Candidate" or "Expected [MM]/[YYYY]" instead of the completion date.

* If your master's degree is in a professional field like an MBA or MFA, consider including your concentration.

* If your master’s is highly relevant to your job goal and relatively new, you may list the degree name after your name at the top of your resume.

Example

Sarah Jones

MA, Journalism, University of Southern California, [MM]/[YY]

123 Main Street, Anytown, CA 12345

(123) 456-7890

If you have limited work experience, you may wish to include more details for each degree:

- Years attended

- GPA or academic honors

- Relevant coursework

- Research or teaching assistantships

- Thesis or dissertation title

This additional detail can help demonstrate the depth of your educational background and qualifications.
