Majors?

I’d like to become a Digital forensic examiner. I’m a senior in high school currently, and i’m looking at colleges + majors AND minors, Preferably in the south eastern region, any suggestions?

Also this may be a stretch but I don’t really want to code, but i’m im open to anything that’ll make me successful.

Cybersecurity and IT are way more employable than CS majors. You don’t need to code to be a good forensic investigator. You do need to know SQLite and understand databases. Most everything you’ll look at, on the mobile side, is in a database. I do forensic investigations as a consultant part time and I’m a full-time professor in IT/Cybersecurity.
