Is it possible to land a career in federal law enforcement with a bachelors degree in criminal justice?

I just wanted to know of some agencies that accept these degrees. I know the fbi wants others but what about ncis, dea, us marshal, and others like private investigation firms?Also what are some other agencies of law enforcement and investigation that hire these degree holders? thanks!


This is going to sound weird, but study accounting. Federal Law Enforcement Agencies need agents who can do financial and accounting types of investigations. Really most degrees should suffice. The real answer is that they don't just look at the degree, it's the whole package. Get your BA, then go for a Masters degree or foreign language and get some work experience (law enforcement is a plus, but really any kind of real world work is good). They hire all types of backgrounds. Do something different and unique, don't follow the rest of the LE crowd and study criminal justice. You will learn that stuff at the academy.

you can be a cop normally the federal agencies try to recruit a lot of their people out of the military. the military is basically their job interview and if they like what they saw over the last 4 years they offer you the chance to be with them.

All of them.
