Should Degree Be Italicized?

the plural form of a degree is the same as the singular: they received bachelor’s degrees in computer science. Cum laude, magna cum laude and summa cum laude should be in lowercase, not italicized, and not set off with commas: She received a Bachelor of Science degree cum laude in physics.

What is the proper way to write your degree?

Properly Write Your Degree

Include the full name of your degree, major(s), minor(s), emphases, and certificates on your resume. Double Majors – You will not be receiving two bachelor’s degrees if you double major. Your primary major determines the degree (Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science).

Do you capitalize degrees?

In text, academic degrees when used in a general sense are not capitalized. (That campus offers bachelor’s and master’s degrees.) You can also use “bachelor’s” and “master’s” on its own, but do not capitalize.

If you have a degree, start by listing the highest degree you’ve earned immediately after your name, such as a master’s degree, bachelor’s degree or associate degree. If you have multiple degrees, you may choose to list only the highest degree you have earned since this often eclipses previous degrees.
