no. I am not getting bachelors degree part time. it will be full time. and the Ph.D that I want to get while I work must be full time too.. the question is will I be able to work full time and study full time for Ph.D... I just wanted to hear what you think and wether you have any experience with it .....

It is common to get a master's degree part time.
I would not suggest doing that if your goal is to get a PhD. Most of the better PhD students will accept you without a master's degree. In addition, most of the better PhD programs do not accept terminal master's students.
If you choose a part time program, it is unlikely to be a good one -- which will hurt your chances of getting into a good PhD program.

Yes, there are Master's degree programs specifically for working people, either night and weekend courses or on-line study.
It is unlikely that your employer would object, since you are making yourself more valuable.
Yes it is legal, and yes, you can be accepted into graduate school while being fully employed.
Good luck!

I absolutely have basically taken 2 years to finish 60 credit properly worth of a MSc (one third approx). you'll ought to do the masters section-time and prob lengthy distance besides. With the education interest i'm observing for mine to very last about 5 years. i ought to assume with a huge push you should do it in 3. extra importantly is talk inclusive of your college and see in the journey that they could pay for the route.

I did both my B.A. and M.B.A. both at night school classes while carrying 2 jobs and raising a family. The first took 6 years and the second, almost 10 years, but it can be done.

Yes, it is possible. I know a lot of people who have done their MBA part-time, and they succeeded. It is also possible to do PhD part-time, especially research based PhD.
