how long would it take....?

Question

for a high school grad with no college credits to get a BS, and a masters in Psychology?

Answer 1

Typically 5-6 yrs in a combined program. A little shorter if it's full time and you take some summer courses. And on the other end, as long as it takes if you don't take a full course load.

Answer 2

Probably around 7 years total, unless you're taking 18+ credit hours every semester, which would kill most people. That's about 5 for the bachelor's and 2 for the master's.

Answer 3

It takes 4 years for a Bachelor's degree, and 2 more years to get a Masters (6 total).
That is if you pass your placement tests and don't have to take any of the remedial math or english classes. You want to place out of as many courses as you can, so you don't have to take all the lower-level classes.

Answer 4

It depends on where you go and if you have a job or not. Most people take 5 years to get a "4 year" degree. If you are studying part time it takes longer.

Answer 5

I just want to add that the 4yr, 2yr, times given are correct only if you carry a full course load.....I know plenty of people who have had to spend twice as much time gaining their degrees, because of the necessity of earning a living while attending school. I know that seems obvious, but sometimes you can overlook the obvious.

Answer 6

some colleges you can combine the two and make it a 5 year program. it can be done in 4 years if you take summer classes and winter sessions.

Answer 7

Four years for the BS, one or two more for the MS.

Answer 8

6 yrs min
