Including a Master's Degree on Resume

Hi there,

I will be starting a master's degree in Applied Mathematics (joint with a diploma in Financial Engineering) this coming September. Prior to this degree, I have completed a BBA and an accelerated BA in Applied Math (did it one year to prepare for the master's program and a career in quantitative finance). Listing all three degrees on my resume is going to take up a big chunk of real estate and I have strong professional experience that I would rather not cut down on.

I'm thinking of either excluding my business undergrad or combining my BA with my MA in Applied Math. I'm leaning towards the latter option because they cover the same discipline, but I'm not sure how I would communicate this on my resume.

Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
