Be a U.S. citizen between 23 and 37 years of age and capable of meeting the Federal Bureau of Investigation's strict physical requirements. These include having a corrected vision of 20/20 in one eye and no worse than a corrected 20/40 vision in the other eye.

Possess at least a bachelor's degree from a specially accredited college. Your major must thoroughly prepare you for law, accounting, science, language or a diversified FBI program. Visit the FBI's Web site (see Resources) for the specific degree requirements. Be prepared for strict background checks, tough written tests and demanding interviews as part of your application. Lie detector tests may also be required.

Go through an intensive four-month training period at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, if you get through the application process. Information about the training is also available on the FBI Web site.

Expect a two-year probationary assignment at a field office once you graduate and become an official special agent. Chances are you'll remain in that location for at least four years.
