How to best present a partially completed college degree?

Question:

I have 18 credits towards an M.A. in Organizational Communication completed. Due to financial reasons, I do not attend to complete the degree. I am seeking a job in the organizational communication field.  Could you please tell me how to best show my completed efforts? I am considering listing the class titles/subject topics within classes that would best relate to my field such as Organizational Effectiveness, Organizational Culture, and Leadership. Might this be looked upon favorably or not? Also, I completed a prospectus (prelude to the master's thesis) on a topic within the organizational communication field. Although the prospectus isn't a published work, should I list it?
