Graduate Education
Graduate education can result in a variety of degrees. The most common include the master’s in arts (MA), sciences (MS), business administration (MBA), fine arts (MFA), law (LLM), social work (MSW), and specialist in education (EdS). The most common final degrees are doctorates in a variety of fields (PhD), education (EdD), law (JD), science (DSc), and religion or divinity (DD).
Master’s degrees are the most frequently awarded graduate degrees, usually obtainable after one or two years of graduate-level study. A doctorate usually takes five to seven years to complete. It may take less time to obtain a doctorate if you enter the doctoral program with a completed master’s degree. Unlike undergraduates, graduate students begin specialized study on the first day of classes. You will probably be required to take certain courses and may be allowed as few as two or three electives.
