How to become a behavioral analyst with the FBI?

I am currently a senior in undergrad and I plan on going into graduate school for a forensic psych MA. My dream job is become a behavioral analyst for the FBI and work with analyzing crime scenes and patterns, studying offender behavior across cases, and creating behavioral profiles. I understand you need to become an special agent first, but I am curious on if 1. getting the MA will actually help me 2. would potentially getting a PHD or a PsyD be even more helpful and lastly, does FBI training force you to away from family for the duration?
