Listing schooling in progress on Resume

Published

Hi everyone,

I am in the process of updating my resume and was wondering if I need to list that I am currently enrolled in an MSN program. Also should I list that on my cover letter as well to show that I am continuing to develop in my career?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Yes - education should be listed just like your job history, with the most recent first. So, you can list your MSN with "anticipated graduation" date on top. Be sure to include your area (e.g., MSN - Nursing Education) along with your thesis/research focus.

Be aware that this information may be off-putting for any jobs that are not 'MSN-required' or 'preferred'. They will probably assume that you will be moving on as soon as you have completed your degree.
