Does a forensic accountant need to take the cpa exam?

I’m a freshman in college. I already have 4 credits in accounting. If im not mistaken I need 11 more. After graduating, will I have to take the CPA exam to become a forensic accountant? Either for the government( IRS FIB etc) or working in an accounting firm. What requirements do I have to meet to become one?

Passing the CPA exam will make it MUCH easier to get into that field, but not a mandatory requirement. You need 24 credits in accounting, not 15 for a CPA license.
