Degree to Occupation Map

Occupations related to a business degree

NCES and BLS publish a crosswalk relating instructional programs to occupations. This page lists every occupation that crosswalk relates to business, with the BLS typical entry education, 2025 median wage and projected growth for each, and links to the RoleSprint page covering the role where one exists.

What occupations does the official crosswalk relate to a business degree?

The CIP 2020-to-SOC 2018 crosswalk published by NCES and BLS relates 106 CIP 2020 programs in business to 124 occupations. That maps a field of study to lines of work; it is not a statement that a business degree qualifies someone for any of them, and the crosswalk carries no figure for how many graduates enter each. Across the 119 with a published 2025 BLS wage the median is $78,240, ranging from $38,010 for Receptionists and Information Clerks to $213,990 for Chief Executives. BLS typical entry-level education splits 3 at no formal educational credential, 42 at high school diploma or equivalent, 2 at some college, no degree, 1 at postsecondary nondegree award, 1 at associate's degree, 59 at bachelor's degree, 5 at master's degree, 6 at doctoral or professional degree: 108 at or below a bachelor's degree and 11 above it. Business Intelligence Analysts is projected to grow fastest at +34.6% over 2025-35. The highest-paid are Chief Executives ($213,990), Computer and Information Systems Managers ($175,140) and Architectural and Engineering Managers ($171,270).

Related occupations: 124, from 106 CIP 2020 programs in business (a further 9 related occupations have no BLS or O*NET row on this site and are not listed)
What the mapping means: NCES states only that it "crosswalks 2020 CIP Codes to 2018 SOC Codes". It relates a program to an occupation. It does not establish qualification, hiring, or how many graduates take that path.
BLS typical entry-level education: No formal educational credential: 3; High school diploma or equivalent: 42; Some college, no degree: 2; Postsecondary nondegree award: 1; Associate's degree: 1; Bachelor's degree: 59; Master's degree: 5; Doctoral or professional degree: 6
Median wage across these occupations: $78,240 (2025); 119 of 124 have a published BLS wage
Next step: 55 of the 124 occupations have a dedicated RoleSprint page covering what the role requires and how the work is performed.

Source and method

2020 CIP / 2018 SOC Crosswalk, National Center for Education Statistics and Bureau of Labor Statistics, and BLS Employment Projections, Table 1.2. Verified 2026-09-06. Program-to-occupation relationships are reproduced from the NCES/BLS crosswalk exactly as published; RoleSprint groups CIP programs into the field of study a person would search for and lists the union of their related occupations, showing every member CIP code. Wage, typical entry education and outlook are reproduced from BLS Employment Projections, Table 1.2 for the matching SOC code. Working-condition figures are O*NET 30.3 means. No relationship strength, employment share or qualification judgement is published, because no source supplies one.

What this list is, and what it is not

The crosswalk's own description of itself is one sentence: “This file crosswalks 2020 CIP Codes to 2018 SOC Codes in ascending order by CIP Code.” It relates a field of study to lines of work.

It does not say a business degree qualifies anyone for these occupations, that graduates usually enter them, or what share do: the crosswalk publishes no such figure. The wage and education columns come from a separate source, BLS Employment Projections, Table 1.2, and describe the occupation rather than the degree. Typical entry education is what BLS observes most often among people already doing the work; it is not a rule about who may be hired.

The crosswalk relates 9 further occupations to this field (11-2032, 11-9039, 13-1082, 13-2051, 13-2054, 21-1019, 41-3091, 41-9099, 99-9999) for which BLS Employment Projections, Table 1.2 publishes no line item on this site. They are counted here rather than listed, because there would be nothing to show beside the name.

BLS typical entry-level education for these occupations

108 of the 124 have a BLS typical entry-level education at or below a bachelor's degree; 11 are above it. "Typical" is BLS's word: it describes the workers already in the occupation.

No formal educational credential: 3
High school diploma or equivalent: 42
Some college, no degree: 2
Postsecondary nondegree award: 1
Associate's degree: 1
Bachelor's degree: 59
Master's degree: 5
Doctoral or professional degree: 6

This is BLS Employment Projections, Table 1.2's description of the education most workers in each occupation typically hold when they enter it. It is not a list of requirements, and it says nothing about licences, certifications or experience, which BLS records separately and this page does not show.

Grouping is RoleSprint's, and it is printed here so it can be checked. CIP's own grain is finer than the phrase anyone searches; the alternative is one page per code, which would put near-identical lists in front of the same question. How this map is built.

Working out which of these is realistic

A related occupation is a starting point, not a verdict. Three different questions decide whether one is worth pursuing, and each has its own page.

Program-to-occupation relationships from the 2020 CIP / 2018 SOC Crosswalk, National Center for Education Statistics and Bureau of Labor Statistics. Wage, typical entry education and outlook from BLS Employment Projections, Table 1.2. Working-condition figures from the O*NET 30.3 Database by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (USDOL/ETA), used under the CC BY 4.0 license; O*NET® is a trademark of USDOL/ETA and RoleSprint has modified some of this information.

What to do next

A crosswalk relates a field of study to lines of work. Whether one specific opening is worth your time depends on what you can actually show, which is a different question and the one RoleSprint answers.
