However I think I found a loophole in any case most jobs say "masters preferred" therefore I was looking at the prerequisites and realized that most masters in EE online have certain requirements for entry into the program calc I, calc I, calc III, DC circuits etc. Then it dawned on me if I did all the pre-requisite courses with everything required for entry into a masters in EE, I may be able to skip the 4-6 year grind and probably do a masters in EE instead in that time. So I applied to TESU for a learner designed area of study in "Robotic Systems Development", though I know the transcript would say "Learner Designed Area of Study".
I was wondering how to you list such a program on your resume and CV? Can I put:
"BS, LDAS, Robotic Systems Development"
or can I just put:
"BS, Robotic Systems Development"?
Which is more appropriate? or what do you recommend? thank you guys.
If you get approval to do it, I wouldn't hesitate to list it like your second choice. I'd leave off the LDAS because it's confusing. I think the distinction is that it is "a" learner designed area of study as opposed to a degree "in" learner designed area of study. (important to note because there ARE examples, like at Harvard University, that have degrees via their continuing education college that are specifically "in" extension studies, which would be more similar to your first sample)
If asked in an interview something like "I didn't know TESU had bachelor's degrees in Robotic Systems Development" you can explain you had an opportunity to design your area of study - easy peasy.
