List your education section near the top if you are a recent graduate; place it near the bottom if you have significant work experience
Include the degree name, major or field of study, school name, and graduation date or expected graduation date
Add your GPA only if it is strong and relevant, usually 3.5 or higher
Include honors, awards, scholarships, or dean’s list if they are relevant
Mention relevant coursework only if it supports the job you are applying for
Include study abroad, thesis, capstone, or major academic projects if they are relevant
Use reverse chronological order, starting with the most recent education first
Keep formatting consistent across all education entries
Omit high school if you have completed college, unless it is your highest level of education or specifically relevant
Leave out graduation date if you want to avoid age-related bias and it is not required
Tailor the education section to match the job requirements
Keep the section concise and focused on the most relevant details
