Equivalencies

The University of North Carolina at Pembroke uses equivalencies, if appropriate for a job, in determining if a potential applicant meets the minimum education and experience qualifications. Jobs which allow for equivalencies will include the statement “or an equivalent combination of education and experience” in the minimum qualifications. For example, if a position requires a bachelors degree and two years of experience, the following applicants could potentially meet the minimum education and experience requirements of the position:

· Masters degree and no experience in the field

· Bachelors degree and two years experience in the same field

· Associates degree and four years experience in the same field

· Six years of experience in the same field

Even though an individual may meet the minimum qualifications, the hiring official may prefer additional education, experience, etc. and in many cases the most qualified applicants and successful applicants have education and experience above and beyond the minimum requirements.

In evaluating equivalencies, the following general guidelines apply:

Education

Degrees:

Must have met all requirements for completion of the degree program.

Doctoral degree = Masters degree + 3 years

ABD (all but dissertation) = Masters degree + 2 years

JD (Jurist Doctorate) = Masters + 1 year

Masters degree = Bachelors degree + 2 years of experience in the same field

Bachelors degree = Associates degree + 2 years of experience in the same field

Associates degree = 2 years of experience in the same field

Vocational /Technical/Trade Schools 12 months = 1 year
