Education
In lieu of general/specialized experience, you may qualify with the following education or combination of both education and experience:
GS-05
SUBSTITUTION OF EDUCATION FOR EXPERIENCE: Applicants may substitute the following education for the required experience: have completed 4 years above the high school level in any field for which high school graduation or the equivalent is the normal prerequisite. This education must have been obtained in an accredited business, secretarial or technical school, junior college, college or university. One year of full-time academic study is defined as 30 semester hours, 45 quarter hours, or the equivalent in a college or university, or at least 20 hours of classroom instruction per week for approximately 36 weeks in a business, secretarial, or technical school.
COMBINATION OF EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE: Combinations of education and experience may be used to meet the total qualification requirements. Only education in excess of the first 60 semester hours (i.e., beyond the second year) is creditable toward meeting the specialized experience requirement. One full academic year of study (30 semester hours) beyond the second year is equivalent to 6 months of specialized experience.
GS-06
As a general rule, education is not creditable above GS-5 for most positions covered by this standard; however, graduate education may be credited in those few instances where the graduate education is directly related to the work of the position.
I have successfully completed one full year of graduate level education that is directly related to the position being filled. https://www.usajobs.gov/Help/working-in-government/unique-hiring-paths/stude nts/federal-occupations-by-college-major/ (USE FOR GS-06 AND ABOVE IN THOSE FEW INSTANCES WHERE THE GRADUATE EDUCATION IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE WORK OF THE POSITION)
