There are several requirements for the correct listing of academic degrees after one's name.

  • Capitalise the degrees in this context, even though they're not usually capitalised when used in general classification.
  • A period, or full stop, is no longer required between each letter; traditionally, the full stop was required, such as B.A., but modern convention has overruled this.
  • When more than one academic degree is given, they should be listed in the chronological order in which they were awarded.
  • "Honorary" degrees should always come after degrees which have been earned.

The proper way to list degrees after your name is to include the letters that apply to whatever degree you have earned following your name. You will also include periods in between the letters.

Is it proper to put BS after ones name when one only has a bachelor's degree?

It depends. You would put a "BS" after your name for a Bachelor's of Science degree (usually from math, science, or technical education). You would put a "BA" after your name for a Bachelor's of Art degree (can be from Liberal Arts, teaching, languages, etc.). For listing Bachelor's degrees, it is most appropriate to list one only. In rare cases where the individual has two bachelor's degrees and no further degrees, I have seen two degrees shown.
