I think you just have to have a Bachelor's Degree(4-year) from college, and it can be from any subject, but I would recommend criminal justice. There will be extensive background checks and psychological testing, and some sort of physical fitness requirements.

1. Keep your record clean. You cannot be selected for a position with the FBI if you have been convicted of a felony. You can still be considered if you have other charges, but they will lessen your chances.
2. You can apply for the FBI and get hired with just a Bachelors Degree. The FBI has many different positions, so don't feel limited to just getting a degree in Criminology or Criminal Justice. That is a common mistake with people when they think about the FBI, because everybody thinks that it's all about just finding out about crime and criminals. There is so much more to it than that.
3. Try to get internships if you can. Check with your local police department, detention centers, court houses, etc.
4. Keep your grades up. A cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher is highly recommended. Also, a 3.5 or higher in your major is looked upon highly. If you keep your grades up, you can get nominated for induction into national honorary societies, which look really good and also will help you get hired as a GS 7 instead of starting at the bottom.
5. If you plan your courses correctly, it shouldn't take you more than 4 years to get out of school. I personally needed 4.5 years because I received 2 degrees and 2 minors, and I was also inducted into 2 national honor societies. I am in the process now of waiting to hear whether I got hired for the position of intelligence analyst.....I was requested to send my school transcripts a week or so ago so that my degrees could be verified. The information that I have given you is coming from personal experience, as I am going through this process as we speak.

First off, don't do illiset drugs of any kind. Second, do not obtain a criminal record. Third, for college study, criminology, criminal justice, are the usual degrees. Fourth, look at a career in law enforcement. All of these things will help to prepare you for consideration for the FBI. Also go and look at their web site and look at the qualifications needed to apply. Also another site is more info for preperation.

They are very selective. You need a post-graduate degree and specialized courses. Talk to your college advisor about your plans and ask him/her to recommend a course of study.
