Do you have to add ALL college attended on a resume?

Question

I got my BS in Biology from a University but before that i went to a community college where my major was business but i didn't get any type of degree because i transfered from there into nyc and changed my major to Biology.

So is it necessary for me to mention the Community college on my Resume? and should i also add that i use to be a business major?

Thanks in advance =)

Answer 1

Yeah, you should. Get as much information about your education history and schools on there as is reasonable.

Answer 2

As long as you don't make up stuff, what you put on a resume is your decision.

Answer 3

It is up to you whether to add or not. You don't add every job on a resume. What's the difference. You can cover that in the job interview. A resume is usually based upon the job you are applying for. You list the most relevant items and try to keep it on one page.

A thought though. I don't know how many classes/credits you have from the community college, but some of those business courses might open you up for other jobs and more possibilities. It's something to think about.

Answer 4

only add what you want credit for.  That's like asking the dentist if you have to brush all of your teeth; only the ones you want to keep.  

Answer 5

It really isn't necessary. I only list the schools in which I graduated from. The only reason you would need to add that you use to be a business major is if it would apply to the position in which you are applying for.
