There are four types of degrees. In order of level of education, they rank as associate degree, bachelor's degree, master's or graduate degrees, and doctorate or professional degrees.

Spell, space and abbreviate like this: Bachelor of Arts / B.A. Bachelor of Music / B.M. Bachelor of Science / B.S.

Academic Education ? Although a student should be proud when he or she earns a certificate degree, associate degree or bachelor's degree, these academic degrees don't merit letters. It's acceptable to use more advanced degrees, such as a master's or doctorate.

When used after a name, an academic abbreviation is set off by commas (e.g., Mary Doe, Ph. D., spoke.). The word ?degree? should not follow an abbreviation (e.g., She has a B.A. in English literature, not She has a B.A. degree in English literature.).

For example, if Jane Doe had a BS, MS, and PhD in computer science as well as an MBA, then if working in management in a retail company she would write "Jane Doe, MBA", but if working in an IT company she might write "Jane Doe, PhD", and if working in academia she could write "Jane Doe, BS, MS, MBA, PhD".

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.

Unless the degree or certifications you have obtained are relevant to your job, they shouldn't be used in email signatures. Only add certifications your company has achieved in the past five years for professional email signatures.
