Since each student's course load differs, it is hard to establish a set time length to complete a graduate program. To figure out how many semesters it will take you to complete your degree, take the number of credits needed for your degree and divide them by the number of credits you plan to take each semester. 

Full-time graduate students take 9 credits per semester, while part-time students take 4.5 credits per term.

Your credit load for the coming semester will ultimately be decided by you and your adviser during your registration appointment. 

The University defines full-time coursework as a minimum of 9 credits per term and part-time course work as at least 4.5 credits per term. For more information, contact Registration Services (82 Washington Square East, 3rd Floor) at 212-998-5055.
