Program Duration

Full-time students can earn a Master’s degree in 9 months (1 academic year), completing 3 quarters of 20 credits each, or in 12 months when spreading the workload.

Part-time students can earn a Master’s degree in 2 to 3 academic years, depending on the number of courses taken per quarter, course selection, and course planning. Completing half the typical number of courses doubles the duration of the full-time program. The more flexible your working hours, the more courses you can take to finish faster. Students are considered part-time if they take 6 or fewer courses per quarter.
