How to List Extra Coursework on a Resume
#1
How do you honestly list extra coursework on your resume?

Do you:
  • Use labels like “Focus,” “Emphasis,” or “Cluster” (e.g., Focused Coursework under your degree)?

  • Create a “Relevant Coursework” section?

  • Fold it into the Skills or Experience section?

  • Include it in a Projects section?

  • Leave it off entirely?

Example Format:
Quote:Bachelor of Science in Marketing
Academic Emphasis in Data Analytics

Curious how others handle it.

In my undergrad, we were told to group them into a preselected, but unofficial, specialization. I also include a spot for capstone or thesis/dissertation if that was included in my degree.

This leaves alot for be desired for coursework that did not lead to a degree or fell outside of the specilizations.
