1. Forensic studies are a part of many four and two year colleges. You need only be admitted to the college to enroll in the program. There are requirements along the way and of course, the college admission requirements. Check with a counselor at the school you may attend.
2. Depends what area of forensics. If you want to do lab work, you'll need a lot of chemistry courses at the college level. If you want to be Grissom, you'll need lots of education and training. If you want to be a morgue attendant or autopsy tech, some of those can just be interning to lead to a job. But really, you're going to need a lot of science coursework. Set your sights on a bachelor's or master's degree and you'll go far.
3. No, the problem is find a place who will allow you to enroll.
