The speed at which you can complete a degree depends on the number of credit hours you\u2019re enrolled in. The time required to complete an online master\u2019s degree varies between 30 and 63 credit hours depending on the program. Additionally, some programs require a specific sequencing of courses or have accelerated terms. These variables will impact the speed at which you can complete your degree. <\/p>\n
A graduate student is considered full-time when enrolling in nine credit hours per semester. At full-time, a student can complete a 30-credit-hour online master\u2019s degree in as little as four semesters, or a year and a half.<\/p>\n
According to the UCF graduate catalog, students enrolled in a UCF Online graduate program are required to finish their degree within seven years from the date of their admission. This encourages students to progress through their master\u2019s program at a good pace and prevents information being studied from becoming obsolete during the course of study.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"tags":[1213],"class_list":["post-21612","faq","type-faq","status-publish","hentry","tag-masters","topic-online-master-degrees"],"yoast_head":"\n
