Well that depends what kind of degree you want. If you want a Bachelor’s, then you will need to do four years of undergraduate until you get a Bachelor’s degree. If you want to get a Masters, it’s usually another two years after the Bachelor’s. If you want to get a doctorate, then add another 3-5 years after the Masters for a Doctorate.

It depends on what type of degree you intend on getting. A bachelor’s in forensic psych will take you 4 years.
Adding a master’s onto that approximately two more (I am in the middle of working on my masters in criminology right now, but I am transferring so mine will take longer as they cap the amount of credits they transfer in graduate school).
The majority of the time, those going into forensic psych (the ones I know) double majored in psychology and criminology, which is extremely helpful if you are going into ANY sort of profiling profession.

Each degree has it’s own level of education. It all depends on the individual. For most jobs, they require that you have you bachelors degree which is 4 years of schooling, but you can get an associates degree in 2 years, or your masters degree in 6-8 years. Just remember this for any level of college education:
Associates Degree- 2 years
Bachelors Degree- 4 years
Masters Degree- 6-8 years
Juris Doctorate (J.D)- 8-10 years
