Hello Dominiq, it seems like Donna touched on the actual requirements above so I'll touch on what you may need besides schooling and education. Physical fitness is incredibly important and you will need to be able to run a certain distance in a certain time and do various demonstrations of physique. Start training now so when you get into the academy it will be a breeze.
Past experience is a huge plus! It's not the most common to get hired directly into the FBI without doing something related to law enforcement prior. Consider becoming a police officer for a few years to get the rapport to show you know what you are doing! I also know they do big hiring's all at once then close it down for months at a time so pay attention to not only when they are hiring but what you want to do in the FBI as the WHY you want to do something is very important.

Hi Donna! Could you summarize what education requirements are in the article? Also, what is the Teen Academy like? That sounds neat!

For preparing a path to FBI, some things to know:
1. Say no to drugs -- Even if marijuana is legal in your state (3 years of non-use)
2. FBI agents are needed in all specialties, so what ever your goal of college study, check to see if it aligns with the current needs of the FBI on https://www.fbijobs.gov/career-paths
3. College Students can apply for FBI Honors Internship Program
High School students:
1. Experience a Day in the life of an FBI Agent - Contact your local community branch office
2. There are 56 Field offices across the country that offer Juniors or Seniors in High School opportunity to attend Teen/Youth Leadership Adcademy. Go To https://www.fbijobs.gov/career-paths, select field office near you for specific requirements
