I am interested in this field. I understand it takes a decent amount of time to get there and I was just wondering how long exactly.

Until you graduate, LOL.

Call the college and or university that you're interested in attending, they'll be able to give you more accurate information, they'll also be able to tell you exactly what you need to do in order to be accepted. This is not an easy career choice, I wish you luck in your endeavours.
