8 to 10 years. A BS/BA is 4 years, MA/MS 2 years and the PhD is 3-7 years. Most PhD programs give candidates 7 years to complete the degree. The first 2 years is course work for the area of expertise and a dissertation is required to finish the degree. It took me nearly 2 years of writing to complete the dissertation.

If you are asking about formal training, at least a PhD. So that means 4 years of college, and then 2 or more for a masters and 3-5 more for a PhD. Some people complete college in 3 years, and a few go directly to PhD programs. So it may be less.
