@liska21 Huh, I have never seen an academic CV without the undergraduate. It is usually irrelevant, but there is an expectation that you provide your entire academic education on your CV.
It’s relevant in two situations. A, if you are applying for a teaching position at a LAC, they really prefer people who did their undergraduate degree at a LAC, and B. if you are applying for a humanities job at an Ivy, you must have at least one Ivy degree, otherwise, you’re not One Of Them, and your application will be disposed of. It is best if your undergrad was at the university which is hiring*. Some will consider Stanford or UChicago as Almost As Good, but that’s as far as they’ll go.
- The teaching philosophies of LACs and research universities/comprehensives differs and LACs prefer faculty who are familiar with the LAC teaching philosophy. They will also consider applicants who are able to demonstrate familiarity with this philosophy in their application, or who have taught at another LAC prior to the application.
** That’s only in Humanities, STEM departments at Ivies are willing to look at applicants with a wide list of universities.
