I went to a nearly unheard of 4-year liberal arts college in PA. I graduated with a terrible GPA(under 3).
I'm now finishing my MS Finance at a real university that people actually care about. I have over a 3.5.
Is it worth excluding my undergrad from the resume? If so, how would I go about doing this?
If not, can anyone think of a decent way to mask my past blunders?
Thanks.

Oh, and if I do make the adjustment, what should I do if a recruiter asks me about my lack of a bachelor's on my resume?
Sure you can do it, but your past is unavoidable. They will always ask you why, and in an interview, you might have someone ask you what happened to your undergraduate degree.
You could put them both on without a GPA. Or, just put the GPA on the MS. Someone will still ask about it if there is one with a GPA and one without. They will definitely ask about it if the undergrad degree isn't there.
Yeah I highly doubt nobody will bring it up, so you might as well put it. And there's no way a big bank won't ask you about your GPA most the min is like 3.5. But I got into J.P this year with a 3.4. BUT, in your cover letter explain what happened. Say some crap that will show how you've grown, matured and got your shxt togethor. I mean usually people get their ish togethor coming from H.S into College (thats how I was, 2.4 GPA freshman and 1/2 sophmore year, 3.8 by senior year, graduated w/ a 3.4) lol, but maybe you could get away withit.
