The FBI publishes a pretty comprehensive list of requirements on their website it seems: https://fbijobs.gov/special-agents
"Have a bachelor’s degree and at least two years of full-time professional work experience, or have an advanced degree and at least one year of full-time professional work experience." This looks like it'll be you first step, so you're on the right track!
In addition to this, I'd look into online communities like Reddit where people are discussing their experiences trying to become an FBI agent as well. Continue to do research like you have started so far, look at content on places like YouTube where people publish their stories on becoming an agent.
Good luck!
