Earn Your Masters Degree from Home




A Master's degree, unlike an associate and bachelors degree, is a graduate degree that requires specialized knowledge and study focused in one area and typically requires the completion of a postgraduate course. In the United States the number of credits required to complete a masters degree is usually about 3o to 60 hours that requires 1 to 2 years to complete. However, many masters degree can take up to 4 years if not enrolled in a full-time program.

The Master of Arts and Master of Science degrees are the basic type in most subjects and may be entirely course-based, reasearch-based or both. The Master's degree is intermediate between a bachelor's degree and a doctoral degree. In some fields, it is customary (or required) to earn a masters degree before proceeding to a doctorate; in others, work on a doctorate begins immediately after a bachelor's degree.

Types of Master Degrees:

There are two main types of master's degree, the MA (Master of Arts) and the MS (Master of Science):
  • Master of Arts
    A post-baccalaureate degree awarded upon completion of 30 semester hours of graduate credit, usually in the social sciences.
  • Master of Science
    A post-baccalaureate degree awarded upon completion of 30 semester hours of graduate credit, usually in the sciences or professions.
