How long will it take to complete this online master's program?
The length of time to completion of the degree can vary between 15 months and five years. Why the wide variation in completion time? Completion time depends on a variety of factors including things such as: how many classes a student can take each semester and whether or not the student takes the AC exam immediately following coursework. It is important to know how many credits you feel you can complete each semester because the courses are taught on a rotational basis. This means if you miss a class in fall semester, for example, you may need to wait until the next fall semester to take that course.
