Prosecuting lawyers get the same education as any lawyer.
In most states in the US, you need to go to law school to become a lawyer. Law school in the US is a graduate degree -- meaning you have to get a four-year degree first (in any major). The law degree takes another three years. After graduating from law school, you have to pass an exam called the Bar Exam before you can practice law.
US News has a list of law school (and ranks them). I've included the link below.
There are a few states (including California, Virginia and Maine) where you do not have to have a la degree to practice law. You can "read law" with a local law firm and them pass the Bar Exam. This is now rare -- but explains why these states have the toughest bar exams.
