Yes, it is only 30 credits, however, you have to take a bunch of thesis credits and work on it for 2-3 semesters after you've done all the course work. Usually, if a student takes classes or takes thesis credits in the summer, it can take 1 year or 1 year and a half. But yes, it generally taks 2 years to compelete a 30-32 credit Master's program.

30 credits is a pretty typical amount, but the thing is a lot of the work you are doing isn't worth "credits". in addition to the coursework you are responsible for an individual thought project, aka your thesis. regardless of your area this is going to require a lot of research and often times experimentation that can be really time consuming. in addition, you have to work a lot harder to get the credits you do need, and as such a full graduate load is often between 8-12 credits.

The classes are a lot more work, more is expected of you and you must receive high grades. You must also complete a major project, i.e. your thesis. With all the research, you do a ton of work without receiving much credit (in comparison to pregrad courseload).

it depends on the exact program. it's often 30 credits of coursework and then a year of internship, practical work, or extra research experience
