In general you need four years to be an officer, Infantry or otherwise with one exception...
For OCS, having a 4 year degree is better, but you can do it on less then four years. The catch is that you have to complete the 4 year degree prior to making captain. However, your chances are less to get selected for OCS if you do not have a 4 year degree, but it has been done. In the end its better to have the 4 year degree done first because it can be hard to get classes in while you are a lieutenant.

"You have two choices:
1. Graduate from West Point (a four year service academy), or
2. Be selected to attend Officer Candidate School (OCS). You will need a bachelors degree (normally four years) to be eligible for OCS. "
Thanks Trooper!
This is true to the "T." You can also go enlisted and get 60 hours of college on active duty. Once you get your 60 CH, you can submit your OCS packet while you are in.

A recruiter can provide information on both these options.

To be any kind of military officer you will need to have a BA or BS degree in a needed degree area. So for your question a minimum of 4 years of college with a degree.
