Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Education Administrators, Postsecondary

USMA academic leadership and direct supervision of academy professors, senior rotating faculty, and civilian professors transfer to postsecondary academic administration.

How to prepare: Compare your documented education and faculty-leadership record with a specific academic administration appointment, identifying evidence that meets its selection criteria before pursuing additional education. Entry typically requires a master's degree, with some small institutions accepting a bachelor's; dean and provost appointments often require a Ph.D., and employers generally prefer related college-administration experience.

What the civilian work involves
  • Direct, coordinate, and evaluate the activities of personnel, including support staff engaged in administering academic institutions, departments, or alumni organizations.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Office software
