I would say all the math and science classes you can get.

Well, you shouldn't worry about that too much, depending on what the availability of classes is at your high school. You should have a strong root in science and math, both are critical to that sort of career. Some classes I would suggest taking that are offered at my school could range from all the following: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Forensics, Environmental Science, Anatomy/Physiology, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II with Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Law, Philosophy in Literature.



Of those I would say that Chemistry, Forensics, and Law would be things you would probably want to focus on. Generally, any core courses you take in high school will do, and college will help you learn whatever else you need to if you want to study to become a CSI.

It will be tricky to find anything in the high school arena. Your best bets are to load up heavily in math & science (chemistry & biology are more valuable). Then, talk to your counselor and let him or her know your career plans.



One other option is to find a university that teaches forensic classes and see what they require for those courses. That could give you some additional leads on what would be the best way to go.

Criminal Justice may be another...any crime/legal type classes will help, but the best person to ask is your counselor,/advisor

Any kind of science class would seem to be useful

ask your COUNSELOR if CSI is right for you. CSI is not for everyone. Side effects may include nightmares, insomnia, inability to trust anyone again, loss of appetite, or mental trauma. If you suffer from any heart dissease CSI may not be for you.

Um...i don't know much...but maybe math/science and if your school offers it then you should DEFINITELY take Forensics.
