Individual Occupational Requirements for
GS-1370: Cartography Series
The text below is extracted verbatim from
Section IV-B of the Operating Manual for Qualification Standards
for General Schedule Positions (p.IV-B-191), but contains minor edits
to conform to web-page requirements.
Use these individual occupational requirements in conjunction with
the "Group Coverage Qualification Standard for
Professional and Scientific Positions."
- Degree: cartography; or a major that included or was supplemented by at least 30 semester
hours in cartography and/or directly related science, and related mathematics. Such course
work includes, but is not limited to, cartography, astronomy, geodesy, photogrammetry,
physical and geological oceanography, computer science, land surveying, geophysics,
physical geography, and remote sensing. The 30 semester hours must have included at least
6, but no more than 15, semester hours of college level, non-business mathematics or
statistics (i.e., college level algebra, trigonometry, calculus, or scientific mathematics
or statistics requiring equivalent college-level courses as prerequisites).
OR
- Combination of education and experience--courses equivalent to a major in cartography, or a
major that included or was supplemented by at least 30 semester hours in cartography,
and/or directly related science, and related mathematics, as shown in A above, plus
appropriate experience or additional education.
Applicants whose experience in cartography was in the Federal service may have
gained this experience by working in an occupational series other than GS-1370. Occupations in which
experience may have been gained include Geography, GS-150; Civil Engineering, GS-810; General Physical
Science, GS-1301; Geodesy, GS-1372; and Land Surveying, GS-1373.
