Should I list how many college units I have on my resume?



By the time I graduate it will have taken me 6 and a half years since I changed majors/didn't go full time. I even took a year off (didnt count that though). I have 134 units though. Should I list that? LIke (134 Credit Units Earned) Graduation: May 2008.

124 units is how many most graduates have but well, I have 134... and still need more

Are you still in school? It depends on the type of position, too. That info might be best said in the cover letter, but put year information on the resume.

For example:
Joe Bob's College of Design May 2000-Present

In the cover letter you could detail relevant courses you've taken, although you don't want to go overboard with that info. You could say something like:

While attending JBCD, I accrued 135 credit hours after changing my major from Underwater Basket Weaving to History. I took courses such as XXX and XXX which would certainly benefit my role as XXX with your company.

Or something to that effect...

Hope this helps! Good luck!
