how many years does a degree in meterology take?

Answer 1

Associates: 2 years
Bachelors: 4 years
Masters: 5 to 6 years
PhD: 6 to 8 years

Note that this is cumulative (ie, a PhD is usually 2 years after the Master's, which is 1 year after the Bachelor's, which is 2 years after the Associates, which takes 2 years).

It may take longer depending on whatever internships or practicuum are required by your course of study.
