What an awesome career choice. Starting at college I would think that the counselor would probably have you take psychology, sociology, analytics and maybe criminal justice. Good luck in your endeavors.

Hello, Kinslee !
What a very interesting and quite an important career goal you have ! I would be happy to give some advice to you about it.
In general, doing a course of study fast or in a shorter period of time than usual is solely up to programs that are offered by the individual college you attend. They would be able to tell you "how" to do it. My advice is to not rush this course of study as there are many, many crucial things that one must learn and understand in order to be a professional criminal profiler. If there is some reason you need to finish your studies in a short period of time, I would consider perhaps one of the majors that take less time in college. You will need to study a lot for a career in criminal profiling. So, in order to cut your time and do it fast, ask your school if there is a fast program for criminal profiling first. But please consider taking the traditionally offered regular length program for your Bachelors degree in this field. That is just my advice.
To be a criminal profiler you will need to pass courses in psychology, forensics, criminal justice and sociology. You than must go through the training at a Police Academy and FBI Academy. That would be your full training and I do not see any way to do this on a fast track.
I wish you all the best in your studies !
