Resume question

So I need to update my resume, but have a question about what to put under Education.

I went to college between 98-2000 for Computer Science Major. Left school and starting working. I went back to school last year 2005 to finish but now I'm a Criminal Justice Major with expected graduation date 2007. What do I put in my resume, both majors?

A friend of mine is asking for my resume for an IT Job.

 
I think I would state only your current major. Attempting to pass yourself off as a computer science major when you are not one is simply asking for trouble.
 
what i would do is list the years you were a compsci major, and list the classes you've taken.. you can put the criminal justice major, but that seems pointless as it has no bearing on what you will be doing.. but it'll tell them what you have been doing lately
 
do you have a CS degree? if not, don't put it on there. you should put something like "candidate for criminal justice degree, expected May 2007"
however you can list relevant coursework in both the CS and CJ fields

I also have my certs, which really mean "sh1t' in the real world.
