You need to major in psychology so that you can go on to earn a Ph.D. in psychology after you earn your bachelor’s degree in it.
A criminal justice minor might be interesting, but it is certainly not necessary as forensic psychologists seldom become deeply involved in most of the topics usually taught in that minor.

depends on the career you want to go into. If you want to be a “CSI” or something like that you should major in criminal justice and Minor in Psych. You should also take some forensic anthropology courses for electives

Whichever program would be required for admission to a Master’s-level program in forensic psych. Do a search for that degree program to find school that offer it and then go to their websites and see what they require.
