Let's say you were only 2 classes away from earning a second major, but decided not to finish (long story that I'd rather not get into). Let's also say you're now applying for some jobs where that second major would be useful, so you'd like to let employers know that you had extensive coursework in that subject. How exactly do you indicate this on a resume? Do you put something like "specialization" in X? Or, "additional coursework" in X?
