Basic FBI Special Agent Eligibility Requirements are as follows:
The work that FBI Special Agents perform is exacting and demanding and it requires a high caliber of individual to successfully fill the role. Because of the sensitive nature of this work, the FBI has very strict entry requirements in place. To qualify for a position as an FBI Agent:
I. Candidates must be at least 23 years old, but younger than 37 at the time of appointment.
II. Candidates must be citizens of the United States.
III. Candidates must hold a four-year degree from a college or university accredited in the United States.

Hello Pamela! I believe you are describing a Crime Analyst position. The FBI hires analysts with all kinds of background and educational combinations. For example, a Forensic Accountant Master’s degree would be very useful in a specialized unit in the FBI. The same for a law degree. However, a Criminal Justice undergraduate degree would be just as versatile to help in many areas. And, they’re always looking for people with foreign language skills!
I would encourage you to research the FBI Experience website listed below, and try to schedule a trip post-COVID closures.
Additionally, look into FBI employment positions by following the link to the FBI Employment page. There it shows career paths for various positions within the organization.
