Curriculum Vitae (CV)/Resume
The curriculum vitae (CV) is a comprehensive overview of your professional and academic experiences. For graduate school, you will want to include your:
- Contact information
- Education
- Research experience
- Teaching, mentoring, and/or tutoring experience
- Internships and/or professional experience
- Publications (if applicable)
- Presentations (if applicable)
- Honors and awards
- Volunteering experience
- Leadership and extracurricular experience
- Skills
While a resume is typically limited to one page, a CV can be as long as necessary; unless the online application says otherwise, your CV can be more than one page. Your experiences should be listed in reverse chronological order within each section, and you should describe your experiences as you would in a resume. As with your other documents, you are strongly encouraged to visit the career and/or writing centers at your institution for feedback.
