How to Become a Criminal Profiler

Requirements for Becoming a Criminal Profiler

PatBrownProfiling.com has a great description for educational requirements:

Obviously, it is always nice to have as much traditional education as possible. Employers like degrees and if you can get a PhD, more power to you. However, a master's may be perfectly acceptable and a bachelor's will at least give you the ability to say you are college educated. There are very few actual criminal profiling programs around although they are starting to surface.

Most people chose forensics, psychology, or criminal justice as their degree programs. Some double major along the way and some focus on one aspect like psychology in their undergraduate program and then go on to get a forensics degree for their master's. Some students take police investigative courses or death investigation courses at community college and then go on to a four year university.
