I have 108 GPS credits invested into a MSW degree, and am currently not attending so that I cannot truly state that the degree is in progress. What can I say if I do intend to complete but do not have a set completion date.

TBD = To Be Determined will probably do nicely. If it matters they can always ask you why/when.

If I read TBD on a resume I would assume the degree was in progress, but it wasn't known, when the final course would be taken. As somebody who struggled to get that one elective I wanted, it would seem reasonable to me, so more context should be provided.

True, but I'm guessing it's a very small box which would only have room for say eight characters or less, so there's not a lot of options here. Unknown, no idea, none, ... Again, if the employer cares enough about the answer, they'll probably say so.

I would give them an expected date of completion, like "Fall 2019" for example. We see this a lot with student applications, offering dates usually within a year, but I've seen them 5 semesters out too... You're not making an iron-clad promise, you're giving them a guideline so that they know you intend to finish, even if the eventual dates don't meet your expectations.

@JoeStrazzere: yes, but no employer want's to hear that, so it's best to give your best estimate; it's not a guarantee or a lie, it's an estimate. Look at the estimated cost of a building or bridge compared to the actual cost for more examples of estimates ;)

I guess you could make something up, even when you aren't currently attending and have no real idea when you will. It seems less than honest to me.

@JoeStrazzere: it's "made up", as are all estimates technically, but not from whole cloth. I don't think it reflects well to say "I'll graduate someday, but who knows when?", do you? You can always flush out the details in the interview as needed.
