A master's or equivalent graduate degree or 2 full years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to such a degree or LL.B. or J.D., if related may be substituted. Such education must demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to do the work in order to be substitutable. Or Applicants may also combine education and experience to qualify.
