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.

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!
