| Comment | Even in contexts where abbreviations are appropriate, English doesn't use a leading zero before the digit representing the month. So in a compressed format like a table or an outline, or in a casual piece of writing like an e-mail, you would write
8/93 - 6/94
In a résumé or business letter, though, I agree that you should probably be more formal, which means writing out the month (without a comma):
August 1993 - June 1994
If absolutely necessary, you could abbreviate as follows:
Aug. '93 - June '94
However, that doesn't really save you much space anyway.
If it's a standard period such as a school year, it may not even be necessary to mention the months specifically, since presumably it's self-evident that you had a summer vacation:
1989-93 . . . B.A. in English, X College 1993-94 . . . M.A. in English, Y University
(sorry I can't do tabs here) |
