Who they Want
While it is impossible to say what each and every organization wants for the myriad of positions available in the intelligence community within this post, we will focus on the traditional roles of operations and analysis.
Since the 9/11 surge the competition to get inside these buildings is more difficult than ever. Most all organizations will require a four year degree with a strong academic record. Several of the agencies will prefer (and in some cases require) three years of work experience to demonstrate that you have lived and operated on your own.
Academic thrusts can really focus on anything, but the more logical and aligned majors would be international studies, political science and/or language.
