Incomplete Masters Degree


I' m helping my wife update her resume and have a question. She was going for her Masters degree in Speech/Language Pathology, but never completed the degree. She took classes part-time for 2 semesters until the birth of our first child. How should I list this on the resume? Should I list this on the resume?

Does your wife plan on completing the degree, and is she pursuing a position in this or a related field?

If she intends on completing the degree, she can include a degree expected date:

ABC College - City, ST
Master of Speech Language Pathology program, degree expected 5/08
* She can include courses, projects, and extracurricular activities if she is seeking a job in this or another healtcare field.

If she doesn' t plan on completing the program and/or the program isn' t relevant to her goal, list general information about the program and dates attended:

ABC College - City, ST

Master of Speech Language Pathology program
* Completed two semesters, Date to Date
