Include the complete name of your Associate degree followed by the program name; do not abbreviate.  After this, include the month and year of your anticipated graduation date.  Place the name of the college that you received your degree from directly under your degree information; include the city and state of the college (do not include street address).

If you hold more than one degree, list the most current degree first and the remainder in chronological order from most current to least current.

If you lack experience when applying for your first professional job, consider a "Relevant Courses" sub-section listing those courses that relate to your career objective.

Include your GPA if it is 3.0 or above.
