Exploring the Possibilities
Master’s degrees generally require one full year up to a two year commitment. Some programs take longer if there is an internship or experiential learning requirement. On average, doctoral degrees take five to seven years and it is possible to enter a program without previous graduate experience.
How to Identify Programs:
- Search online with GradSchools, Peterson’s Guide to Graduate Schools, Princeton Review, and US and World News Report - Best Graduate Schools
- Talk with your advisor and faculty in the chosen discipline
- Consult professionals in the field
- Use professional associations for recommended programs
