How long does it take to get a master's degree?

Answer 1

Generally it takes full time graduate students 2-3 years to earn a master's degree and 4-5 years to earn a PhD. This is assuming they go for the same subject that they hold an undergrad degree in. If the subject is different, it may take longer because there may be extra prequisite requirements.

Students who do part time programs also usually take longer to earn their degree because they are not taking as many classes as full time students. Students who choose to attends classes during the summer can earn their degree in 1.5 years or less with an accelerated class schedule

Answer 2

It depends on the specific master's degree and where you attend. A master's degree is 30-60 semester hours and a full time grad student takes 9-12 hours per semester with 3-6 in the summer.

This means that if you're getting an MA that requires 30 semester hours and you take 12 per semester and 6 in the summer; it takes exactly 1 year.

If you're doing a program that requires 60 semester hours and you take 9 hours per semester and 3 in the summer; it takes almost 3 years.

If you attend part-time, it takes much longer.

The general answer to your question then is 1-3 years.
