You don't join the C.I.A.  You apply for a job at the C.I.A.\n\nYou will need a degree... Accounting is a good one, believe it or not.  You would also have a leg up if you were fluent another language other than Spanish, German or French.  Arabic, Chinese, and Russian are good.\n\nBefore you go crazy wanting to be in the C.I.A., not all people in the C.I.A. are undercover spies.  They do a lot of white collar and intelligence investigations, as do the Secret Service.

Having an undergraduate degree is not mandatory, but is highly recommended. Life experiences are taken into consideration. However, a standard requirement for overseas officers, intelligence analysts, and other non-clerical positions is a college degree, preferably an advanced degree.\n\nhttp://www.cia.gov/employment/faq.html#m1\n\nBasic Requirements for All CIA Positions\nBefore seeking any position with the CIA, you should know that the following requirements will apply: \n\nU.S. Citizenship is required. The CIA does not assist individuals in applying for US citizenship. \n\nSuccessful completion of a thorough medical examination, a polygraph interview and an extensive background investigation\n\n\nFor more information visit http://usgovinfo.about.com/library/weekly/aa071899.htm and http://federaljobs.net/ciajobs.htm

Hello Tyler. To answer your question, first you need to know what exactly it is you want to access on your schools computers! Second....make a phone call to the FBI and ask to be connected to the Internet / Cybercrimes unit. They will gladly provide you with the exact steps you need to follow! Good Luck with that!!!

FBI agent candidates must have a bachelor’s degree and at least 3 years of related full-time work experience. Experience in law, law enforcement or the military will help if you're interested in working for the law enforcement branch of the FBI. If you're interested in working for the FBI regarding matters related to financial crime or fraud, then experience in the financial field would be relevant. \n\nCandidates must successfully complete a written and oral examination, medical and physical examinations, a psychological assessment, and an exhaustive background investigation. Also, candidates must be between 23 and 36 years of age at the time of appointment. \n\nThe FBI looks for candidates who have bachelor's or master's degrees in criminal justice-related areas, engineering/science, accounting/finance, or foreign languages. Currently the FBI is only accepting applications for candidates who have one or more of the following skills: \n\nFluent in a Foreign Language (Arabic, Farsi, Pashtu, Urdu, Chinese [all dialects], Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, and Vietnamese) \nAccounting/Finance experience (Accounting/Finance Degree/CPA/or at least 2 years relative work experience) \nEngineering experience \nComputer Science experience or other information technology specialties \nPhysical Science experience (such as physics, chemistry, biology, etc.) \nLaw experience \nLaw Enforcement or other investigative experience \nMilitary experience

Bi-Langual is a huge factor. Degree in Business is good, especially if you have accounting minor. Most agencies are not looking for military/police they are looking more for chemist, computer specialist, accountants, translators, etc. High GPA is also a plus. CIA, FBI, Secret Service are hard to get into if you are straight out of college. Graduate degree helps. Once you get into Federal govt it is a lot easier to transfer to the agency that you really want. DEA, Border Patrol, Customs are some of the "easier" agencies to get into. Good Luck. Be ready to move off to where everland for at least 2-5yrs.

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.

There will be thousands of procedures and practices.  A good start would be to review the web page for the FBI lab.\n\nhttp://www.fbi.gov/hq/lab/labhome.htm

You can't join the FBI unless you're a citizen.\n\nTo carry out its mission, the FBI needs men and women who can fill a variety of demanding positions. To qualify as an FBI Special Agent, you must be a U.S. citizen, or a citizen of the Northern Mariana Islands, at least 23 and not have reached your 37th birthday on appointment. Candidates must be completely available for assignment anywhere in the FBI's jurisdiction. Candidates need to have at least 20/20 vision in one eye and not worse than 20/40 vision in the other eye. If an individual has a satisfactory history of soft contact lens wear and is able to meet correction to 20/20 in one eye and no worse than 20/40 in the other eye, safety concerns are considered mitigated and applicant processing may continue. In addition, policy for color vision allows continuation of applicant processing if those who fail initial color vision screening are able to successfully complete the Farnsworth D-15 color vision test.\n\nI can't say for all police departments, but my guess is the same thing.  For example, the San Jose police requirements include US citizenship or at least application for citizenship.\n\nhttps://www.eomniform.com/servlet/FillForm/Personnel_Recruiting/PolRec2006

An FBI Special Agent is a graduate of their academy in Quantico, VA.  Following the 18-week course, the special agent then proceeds to work, usually in a field office, where they have full investigative powers, including the authority to arrest.  \n\nYou will often hear them called agents as a collective term, however, FBI investigators who are graduates of the course are Special Agents, as are DEA Special Agents (14 week course) as are Special Agents of the Bureau of Diplomatic Security (State Department), etc.

Study the company in case they ask you any specifics about what you know about them.  I had an interview with the FBI once and they were asking things like, "What do you know about the hierarchy of the FBI?" and "Can you name a case that you know we are involved in right now?"  \n\nAlso be prepared with strengths and weaknesses that you have - turn the weaknesses into a positive somehow.  \n\nI think Monster.com has a section on interview tips that might be helpful to you.

I don't know what you plan on doing if you want to be a criminal justice major - but I'd like to give you some advice from personal experience.\n\nIf you plan on being a police officer, or federal law enforcement (FBI, Secret Service, DEA, CBP, etc), and you need a college degree - pick your SECOND favorite major besides criminal justice.  The service you pick will train you on the law enforcement stuff.  All they care about is that you have a college degree.  You can intern with a police department or something during college to display your interest.\n\nIt makes you much more well-rounded and more valuable to them if you have a degree in accounting, business, or some sort of science (particularly chemistry or biology).  I even know a guy who majored in nuclear engineering who is a police officer (and has invaluable knowledge about hazardous materials and the potential threats of nuclear terrorism).\n\nHaving another degree also makes it easier in the future if you should decide to use your law enforcement experience and enter private business.  I've been stuck in law enforcement for a little while after trying to make a career change because ALL of my education, experience, etc is in law enforcement.\n\nI've advised many college students along this same path but no one really wants to do it.  They will have to learn it from experience.\n\nI attended the school with the courses that the previous poster listed.  It is actually the University of Maryland, and I've taken many of those courses.  Please feel free to email me if you have ANY qustions about being a criminal justice major or police work.

Here are some quotes from the CIA on this matter:\n\nI am a student considering a future career at the CIA. What courses should I take, or what major should I choose?\n\nCIA employees represent a wide variety of disciplines from an even broader mix of academic backgrounds and experience. Therefore, we don't recommend one academic track over another in general.\n\nThe Agency's personnel requirements change from month to month as positions are filled and others become available. Our best advice to you is to do your very best and strive for good grades. Fluency in a foreign language is a good addition. Above all, understand that your choices and behaviors now are a reflection of your personal integrity, character and patriotism.\n\nWhat student programs does the CIA offer?\n\nThe Central Intelligence Agency offers several programs for students considering a career in the intelligence field. Each program offers valuable educational and practical work experience that enhances the student's chosen field of study and prepares them for the future. These positions are extremely competitive and students are given a salary and excellent benefits. Review our programs and how to apply on our Student Opportunities page.\n\nNow that being known the list of positions that the CIA hires can be found at the link: http://www.cia.gov/employment/viewall.html\n\nI will say that working for the US Govt. for an agency that is misunderstood can become madding at points but can be the most rewarding thing that you can ever do.  Good Luck\n\nP.S.  What ever you do during any type of application process do not LIE.  That will be the end of dreams that you have.  Personal trust is one of the most important qualifications you can have.
