Re: How long does it take to earn a degree in your area?

[(Anonymous)]

I grew up and currently live in the midwest US and went to college in the northeast. In those places, BA/BS programs are generally designed to take four years as a full-time student, but obviously there is some variation. Some people can finish early if their school granted them credits based on accomplishments in high school or if they packed in extra classes in the summer. Some students take longer for a variety of reasons. I wouldn't be surprised at someone taking five years if it meant finishing with a double major and associates degrees.

Grad school varies widely. I got my MA in only two years, but I went to a university that strives to push students through quickly on the MA. I know a lot of people who took far longer. (Personally, I think a lot of schools need to find ways to make the MA quicker. When I was looking for a new job a few months ago, I applied to some government jobs that considered an MA to be equivalent to two years of full-time work experience in your field. That means an MA is only worth two years in the eyes of at least some employers.) My dad earned an MA and PhD together and that took him six years total on top of his four-year BA, and that was considered kind of long by the standards then (the 70s) - people were expected to complete a PhD in four years after completing their BA/BS.

I've known a couple of people who went to grad school in the UK and I'm rather impressed by how short those programs can be, but also a little aghast at how this results in such ridiculously young PhDs!

I've always wondered about that in fanfic. Merlin fandom always had Merlin be very young with his Ph.D's in AU fics and I always just assumed it was handwaving his age to make it match up to canon ages, but apparently not?
