You do not need a particular major to work for FBI, but you do need good grades.

That said, they are more likely to hire you if you have majored in criminal justice, engineering, computer science, or any Math or Science degree.

Answer 4

criminal justice. or maybe psychology, i can see that relating really well especially if you focus on things like paranormal psych, etc.  

Answer 5

You can get trained by the FBI in Quantico, Virginia for 17 weeks.  Check the link for everything u might want to consider

Answer 6

Criminology or Criminal Justice!

Answer 7

High School classes are pretty irrelevant in terms of your career as an adult.  Just do well in high school, and when you get to college aim for a degree in Political Science, International Relations, a foreign language, history, or something along that track.  You must have a high GPA, be able to pass numerous background checks, and compete against some pretty well-credentialed people!

Answer 8

It really depends on what job in the FBI you want. The field agents tend to have prior experience in law enforcment or the military. Military experience is probably the best thing you can have to work for just about any government job. You'd have to take criminal justice, some pyschology, maybe sociology. You have to pass both the written test and the physical test.

Answer 10

During high school, you should sharpen your problem-solving skills in math and science. Learn to read between the lines in English and history. Take classes in business and accounting. Some agencies, such as the FBI, look for accounting majors. Learn to speak a second language and work toward fluency.

To work as a federal agent, you'll need a bachelor's degree.  A law school diploma is one way to qualify for the FBI. But I never heard of anyone who would actually go through all the schooling, LSATS, and the licensing to become an FBI agent.

Most respected Majors to take:

Accounting

Criminal Justice

Criminology

Emergency Management/Homeland Security

Forensic Science

Prelaw Studies

Psychology

Federal agents are often asked to relocate, and on-the-job travel can be frequent.

Answer 11
