As for a major, you might consider a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice. And unfortunately, to be a viable candidate for most Criminal Profiling / Psychologist positions with Police departments or the Federal Government, you will need a Master’s degree in a Psychological area of study.

A word of warning, after taking a few College courses in Criminal Justice at a Texas State college, I realized that a significant portion of the students in the CJ program were trying to become a Psychological Profiler.

In other words, there will be an enormous amount of competition for a very selective and small field of Law Enforcement.

So, be sure to study very hard, make good grades, and at the latest, 11th grade, you should begin to start researching Colleges that have exemplary Psychology and Criminal Justice departments.

Ask your High school Counselor to help (I know this will be no fun), or if you have any relatives with children in college, ask their advice about schools that they attend.
