College students often question whether they should list college coursework on their resumes.
- Probably not unless it contributes something different from what any other student in your major would offer an employer.
- You can also list coursework if you have very little else to include on your resume and need some padding.
- Note: It is better to list major course projects you completed rather than names of the classes themselves.
- Similarly, don’t list course numbers; they will mean nothing to readers outside your university.
