EZINNA EDGE’s Answer

FBI is the abbreviation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
First and foremost Jayden, there is no best college degree for an FBI agent because it is a huge organization with different departments. It all depends on the particular position or department an individual is interested in or would like to work in.

However, degrees such as Law, Criminal Justice, Cyber security, Computer Science, Criminology, Sociology, Forensic Science, etc., will go a long way in helping you secure a job with the Bureau.
In addition, the degrees mentioned above are the most common degrees possessed by FBI agents.
So identify the position or department where you want to work in.

I wish you all the very best.

Garth’s Answer

There are colleges and universities that the FBI prefers to recruit from. There are recruiters you could reach out to and have that conversation. Going to a different school isn't a deal breaker but doing well at one of those preferred schools is a massive leg up.
until you find a recruiter. This might help: https://cjusjobs.com/fbi-colleges/

Paul’s Answer

When I worked as a federal police officer, I had many opportunities to work with FBI agents.

It is true, they prefer people who have skills in accounting, auditing, and mathematics abilities.

Any university that offer Master’s programs in CJ, computer science, finance and accounting, forensic sciences and chemistry, etc. It really depends on which arena of the bureau you’d like to work.
