Although many assume it only takes college students four years to complete their bachelorâs degree, information released by the National Center for Education Statistics show that the average student takes an extra six months beyond their four years to actually obtain a degree.
Bachelorâs degree programs range between 120 credit hours and 150 credit hours. Depending on the credit hours required, it can take 4 to 5 years, on a full-time basis, to earn your undergraduate degree. It could extend the time span if you are enrolled part time. Your major, the school, and the program that you choose will all affect the time period that it takes to earn your Masterâs.
