By trying to compile the code below the following error will be raised for each \item entry.

LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
\Large{Awards and}  & \textbf{Department}           \\
\Large{Fellowships} & Course Name, 2014--2015       \\
            &                   \\
            & \textbf{Fulbright Scholarship}    \\
\begin{itemize}
\item 1
\item 2
\end{itemize}
            & City, Country, 2006-2009      \\
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

itemize does only work in p-columns in tables. This should work

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{p{8cm}l}
\Large{Awards and}  & \textbf{Department}           \\
\Large{Fellowships} & Course Name, 2014--2015       \\
            &                   \\
            & \textbf{Fulbright Scholarship}    \\
\begin{itemize}
\item 1
\item 2
\end{itemize}
            & City, Country, 2006-2009      \\
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

Alternatively you can use fake bullet points instead of \begin{itemize}...\end{itemize}, as was suggested here.

\documentclass{article}
\newcommand{\tabitem}{~~\llap{\textbullet}~~}

\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
\Large{Awards and}  & \textbf{Department}           \\
\Large{Fellowships} & Course Name, 2014--2015       \\
            &                   \\
            & \textbf{Fulbright Scholarship}    \\
\tabitem 1      & City, Country, 2006-2009      \\
\tabitem 2      &                   \\
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

  • You might want to note, that \begin{itemize}...\end{itemize} can be used inside a \parbox{}{} in a tabular-environment (which is similar to the p-columns). – Skillmon Mar 21 '17 at 13:55
  • @Skillmon Right. I think, minipage should work as well. The OP was giving so little information about requirements that I went for the easy solutions, leaving out the more fancy stuff :) – Manuel Weinkauf Mar 21 '17 at 13:57
  • That is correct. I just think, that this (parbox or minipage) would be the least intrusive way because it doesn't change the other cells of the table. – Skillmon Mar 21 '17 at 14:00
