Things to Note:
For one degree, list the degree abbreviation then an apostrophe with the year graduated. Ex: Accounting 2000 is (Acct鈥00).
If someone has two degrees, separate with a comma and put in alphabetical order Ex: a dual psychology and English 2009 major is (Engl, Psych鈥09)
For degrees that are graduate or doctorate level, an 鈥淢鈥 or 鈥淧hD鈥 is put in front of the degree. Ex: a master鈥檚 in English in 2009 is (MEngl鈥09)
If someone has an undergraduate and graduate degree or doctorate from CU (any campus), it is also separated with a semicolon and has either a 鈥淢鈥 or 鈥淧hD鈥 in front of the degree. Ex: Sociology undergraduate 2009, master鈥檚 in engineering 2011 (Soc鈥09; MEngr鈥11) or if it was a PhD in engineering (Soc鈥09; PhDEngr鈥11)
If someone left 精品SM在线影片 before graduating, annotate their degree with 鈥渆x鈥 and the year they were expected to graduate. Ex: If a student left as a junior in 2012 with a psychology degree and was expected to graduate in 2013, annotate as (Psych ex鈥13)
If someone got their undergraduate and master鈥檚 in the same subject, don鈥檛 rewrite the degree. Rather put MA if it was a master of arts or MS if it was a master of science or PhD if it was a doctorate. For example, if someone got their undergraduate and graduate degrees in sociology two years apart, it reads like this: (Soc鈥09; MA鈥11). Or if they got their civil engineering undergraduate in 2009 and their doctorate in civil engineering in 2015, it reads (CivEngr鈥09; PhD鈥15)
