Federal Jobs By College Major

Working for the Federal Government can be a wonderful career choice. However, finding the right job for you, based on your interest and academic major, can be a little confusing. So, to help you narrow your Federal job search, we’ve put together a list of academic majors and federal occupations directly related to those majors. Occupations with an asterisk (*) require an academic degree or coursework in a particular area of study for entry into the occupation. For other occupations, experience or a combination of related coursework and experience may be substituted for a degree. The academic majors and occupations listed are not all-inclusive. You can begin your Federal job search on the Federal USAJOBS website (usajobs.gov) by using the four-digit “Series Number” of the federal occupation listed under the major. We wish you the best of luck on your federal job search!
