I have a resume question...
I'm updating my resume and I want to put my current educational status on it. I just need a bit of help about the proper protocol about listing a pending degree. Right now my educational status is listed as...

BA, Health and Exercise Science with Specialization in Athletic Training
Rowan University- Glassboro, NJ
GPA: 3.83

and my graduation date is in a column to the right. I'm working on a masters and I'm not sure how I should format it on the page. Should I write it exactly how I have my other one because technically I don't have the degree yet and what should I do about the right hand column with the graduation date? Should I just write something like "Aug 2007-present"? any help would be appreciated!

1. For degrees being pursued
the date is noted as "expected," as in "MA, Health and Exercise Science, Expected June, 2009."

:hi:

2. Mark it as "Expected completion date"
That's what I've done.

that is what I see most often on resumes that cross my desk,

say,

University of California, Irvine. Bachelor of Arts (2008)
