How to Write Degrees in Public Administration on a Resume
Unless you have a lengthy work history in the public sector, you should begin your resume by listing information about your degrees in public administration. If you are a recent graduate with little work experience, consider building on your education section to discuss the public administration courses you took and any public service internships you completed. If you plan on going back to school to earn any additional degrees in public administration, consider adding a professional profile outlining your educational plans to the beginning of your resume.
