Education & Training

Degree in Computer Science is required. A degree in related fields (e.g., Engineering, Mathematics) may be considered relevant if the program contains a concentration of courses in foundational CS areas: algorithms, computer architecture (not network architecture), programming methodologies and languages, data structures, logic and computation, and advanced mathematics (for example, calculus, discrete mathematics). Information Technology (IT) and Information Security (IS) degrees may be considered relevant if the programs contain an amount and type of coursework equivalent to a Computer Science major.

Relevant certifications or training include (but are not limited to): CompTIA Security+, CompTIA Network+, CEH, JCAC course. Do not include mandatory annual NCS compliance training or short (less than one week) NCS courses.

Completion of military training in a relevant area such as JCAC (Joint Cyber Analysis Course) may be considered toward the relevant experience requirement. For example, a 24‑week JCAC course may count as six months of experience. In some cases, foreign language proficiency may also be used to satisfy experience requirements; recent Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR) scores are required to substantiate proficiency level. The total of all experience equivalencies is capped at half of the required years of experience.
