Education

At the NQ-2 / GS-9 grade level, education may be substituted for experience. To qualify on education alone, the following amounts of education and/or experience required to qualify for this position is:

• A Master's or equivalent graduate degree; or
• Two (2) full years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to such a degree; or
• LL.B. or J.D., if related; or
• A combination of experience and education. Combinations of successfully completed post-high school education and experience may be used to meet total qualification requirements for the NQ-2/GS-9 level, and may be computed by first determining the applicant's total qualifying experience as a percentage of the experience required for the grade level; then determining the applicant's education as a percentage of the education required for the grade level; and then adding the two percentages. The total percentages must equal at least100 percent to qualify an applicant for that grade level. Only graduate education in excess of the amount required for the next lower grade level may be used to qualify applicants.

Education must be obtained from an accredited institution recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Applicants who have completed part or all of their education outside of the U.S. must have their foreign education evaluated by an accredited organization to ensure that the foreign education is comparable to education received in accredited educational institutions in the U.S. A written evaluation of any foreign education must be provided with your application in response to this vacancy announcement or be received by the closing date of this announcement. Failure to provide this evaluation will result in you being found unqualified for the position. For special instructions pertaining to foreign education, see the Department of Education website, and for a list of organizations that can evaluate foreign education, visit The National Association of Credential Evaluation Services.

Education must be accredited by an accrediting institution recognized by the U.S. Department of Education in order for it to be credited towards qualifications.
