Question

how long does it take to get a masters degree

Answer 1

about 7 years. 4 years undergrad and 2 years grad.

Answer 2

A Master's can usually be done in 2 years and 39 credit hours. In graduate school, 9 credit hours is considered full time (as opposed to 12 in undergraduate school), and there usually aren't many summer classes. So 9 credits TIMES 2 semesters in a year is 18 credit hours for the first year. ADD 18 credit hours for the second year and you get 36 credit hours, plus a 3 credit hour internship/thesis.

= 39 credit hours

As with anything, it depends on how many classes you take and how quickly you get things done. It could take ~3-5 years for a bachelor's degree and an additional ~1-3 for a Master's, just depends. So total is ~4-8 years, with the average being about 6, lower than average being 5 and a little bit longer than average being 7 years to complete.

Answer 3

Five years if you take 15 units per semester --- four years for the B.A. or B.S.\ with an additional year to secure your masters. Do your self a favor and try not to look at it that way though. Just do the work one semester or one quarter at a time. If you have to -- do it one class in the summer months at a time. Please believe me --- it doesn't take a ton of brains to graduate from college (university). What it takes is perseverance. Good Luck and God Bless You.

Answer 4

It took me two years, enrolled full time and summers (37 credit hours in English at Emporia State University in Kansas).

EDIT: If it helps you any, I was enrolled from August 12, 2000 to May 26th, 2002. I didn't do a minor. I wrote a 65 page thesis (longer than required). So, anyone who thinks I'm wrong, I have copies of my transcript, and I'll be glad to show you.

Answer 5

masters is usually 60 credits.. it usually takes 3 years to complete.
