OR

Have less than the full amount of specialized experience required but have more than one year of graduate level education with a major in a directly related field. Therefore, you have a combination of experience and education. To calculate your combination, first determine your total qualifying experience as a percentage of the experience required. Then determine your education as a percentage of the education required (only graduate education in excess of one year may be used). Add the two percentages. They must equal 100% to qualify using this option. Such education must demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to do the work of this position.
