Difference between part time and full time M.A.

The most obvious difference between part- and full-time student hours in MA is the number of credit hours they take during a semester. Full-time is generally a minimum of twelve credits, or about four classes. Part-time is usually somewhere between six and eleven credits or two to three classes.

Hi, A part-time Masters's degree is basically the same as doing a full-time course but spread out over more time. Commonly, a full-time Masters programme will take one year, and a part-time Masters will take two or three.
