Educational Profile of the USAF Officer Corps

Abstract

The college degrees held by the United States Air Force Corps are presented and analyzed. The basic data came from the "uniform officer record" dated January 31, 2002. The data is presented for the Office Corps as a whole (Part 1) and separately for the individual officer career fields (Part II). The percentage of officers holding an advanced degree is 52%, well above any comparable civilian benchmark. The majority of these advanced degrees (72%) were self-funded, mostly earned off-duty (night school). The data shows an unusuall large numaber of masters degrees in engineering technology compared to civilian norms. The data also shows a systemtic migration from entry BS degrees in engineering to other fields including but not limited to engineering technology.
