* Associate's Degree: Typically 2 years of full-time study.
* Bachelor's Degree: Typically 4 years of full-time study.
* Master's Degree: Typically 1-2 years of full-time study after a bachelor's degree.
* Doctoral Degree (PhD, EdD, etc.): Typically 4-7 years of full-time study after a bachelor's degree (sometimes longer). This can vary significantly by field.
These are just averages. Factors that can influence the time it takes to complete a degree include:
* Part-time study: Studying part-time will naturally extend the time to completion.
* Transfer credits: Credits earned at other institutions can shorten the time.
* Academic performance: Students who need to repeat courses will take longer.
* Program requirements: Some programs are more intensive than others.
It's best to consult the specific university or college's website for details on program length.
