Just starting doctorate. Put it on my résumé? If so, how? (employment, 2014)

[jeffpv]

I am starting my Ed.D in a few weeks. I also plan to start job-searching soon after. (I am currently employed, FYI.)
I put this on the education forum, too, but I hoped someone here might have a good answer or have been in the same situation:
Do I put this just-begun journey on my résumé?
If so, how?
For instance, would this work: Ed.D (subject), university name (expected 2017)?
Or...?
Thank you!

That works. That's usually how it is done.

Or alternatively, you could do

Ed.D (subject), university name (Class of 2017)?

Under education I would put "currently enrolled in Ed.D program at u of whatever"

But you need to be prepared to talk why that is a good thing for your employer, and not an overwhelming distraction from employment.

Thank you both!
That is a great point about it not interfering with my work, Tuck's...thanks!

Can't you just list say : Ed.D Candidate to indicate that you are currently in school? That is how I would handle it.

I don't know about Ed.D., but for a Ph.D., you wouldn't say you were a candidate until you finished everything but your dissertation. At least not in the U.S.

In Progress should be somewhere near the date. 2014-Presently enrolled

Degree - School - anticipated graduation 2017'

When I was a PhD student (didn't finish it,) I also listed the positions of Research Assistant and Teaching Assistant, since that was funding the degree.

For PhD's, some indicate it as PhD(c) - with the "c" indicating "candidate". I'm not sure when that "c" is kosher to use (e.g. When all except dissertation is complete or at anytime or what) and I don't know if it's standard for an Ed.D to do some thing similar.
