Correct order of professional titles after name

That's a really good question. Too bad no one responded. I would love to know the answer to that as well.

lowest first, highest last : BA, MA, MFA/MSc, D.Phil/Ph.D.

Hi,

A few additional comments.

This is a tricky question, and I think there may sometimes be different views on certain aspects of it.

Where degrees are in the same field, only the highest is usually written,

eg not BA, MA, but simply MA.

eg BA, M.Sc.

In the non-academic world, often only the highest is given, eg Ph.D. rather than BA, MA, Ph.D

I have a BSC (hons) degree and a SAC Dip, the degree was first then the diploma but I am in the process of joining goverening bodies for my profession. I am wondering what order do i need to write these titles in and also do i use the titles when filling in forms such as a passport or job application or do i just use them when writing letters. I am confused and cannot find any where online that

Sorry to interfer in another discussion but I am searching since many days to what correspond the title after the name : P.D.G. Eng. ?

Can someone help me please ?

Thank you.

The correct order is M.F.A., Ph.D. But truthfully, unless you work in the Fine Arts or trying to get a job in the Fine Arts you should just drop it. Its kind of like having B.S., M.A. after your name, the master degree speaks for itself, just as the Ph.D speak for itself.

Hey sorry I just saw this post a noted no one replied, maybe you already got your answer by now.

Interesting. What about people with whom has professional licensing that is not of the same education. For example, I graduated with a BA, but I went back to school to get my RN (professional license), but the RN is a associate and not a bachelor's RN?

I just received my RN license and already have been a licensed massage therapist in N.Y.S. for 7 years. I was infromed by a doctor of chiropractic that you put the degree that was more difficult to obtain first. Also did some research and found out this would be proper to do. Example I would say first last name, RN, LMT. Hope this helps you!

List the most advanced degree first, then subsequent degrees.

Ph.D., M.F.A
