https://www.fbijobs.gov/career-paths suggests that there are various types of FBI jobs for which various college majors (not just criminal justice) may be helpful.

Is he eligible to use the AB540 provisions for resident tuition and financial aid?

Thanks , I will need to look into that and read it carefully. I am also going to the CSU LA counselor…

For law school, don’t major in criminal justice. Criminology maybe, or Philosophy/English/Political Science/Psychology/ Speech&Rhetoric…
If your child is a California resident (will graduate from a CA high school), choose a commutable community college or have him/her apply directly to a CSU or UC. Depending on his/her GPA and test scores, there are private colleges that may offer smaller classes for more personalized recommendations (Pitzer, Pomona, Oxy, Chapman, St Mary’s of California, LaVerne, Cal Lutheran…) but the basic requirement of a traditional major with a lot of reading/writing + high grades is the same regardless of college.

It doesn’t seem certain this child wants a law degree. (I think OPis using the term generically.) Rather, something that gets her into the FBI or similar ‘criminal justice’ work, if the FBI doesn’t work out. Big difference in the two paths.

I spoke to my child again. I think i got her wrong…
She is insisting she wants to practice law. I am looking for a good college and not so expensive university in LA for a later transfer to. I know from reading some pf posts here that there is no “inexpensive law degree” but i do wonder which college (as the beginning of the journey) and which potential next institute to be transfer to later on for such a degree.
I am thinking about two stages to make sure she has chance to choose right path for herself, one as undergrad for related degree so she will have a choice to use that degree and find related job (non lawyer type but close to the subject) or continue go further to grad school for law degree.

@ibelta:
There are several possibilities.
For the most useful advice:

  • what’s her Unweighted GPA and her uc capped GPA?
  • what are her test scores?
  • what’s your EFC?
