What Does a Master’s Degree Entail?

A master's degree provides an advanced level of expertise on a specific subject. Obtaining a master's degree can make you a more attractive job candidate, boost your earning potential and open up opportunities for promotion in your current occupation.
Drexel University's online master's programs feature a range of benefits, including:

Flexible Scheduling

Our online courses are designed to cater to students with busy schedules, such as shift workers, parents or those with other commitments. Most programs offer the flexibility to complete weekly assignments at your convenience.

Are Online Master’s Degrees Credible?

Earning your master’s degree at a regionally-accredited university in an online or hybrid format requires the same amount of time and commitment needed in a traditional classroom. Now more than ever, degrees earned in an online format are just as credible as traditional degrees — with the key differentiators being the flexibility, social interaction, and learning style of an online program.

As long as it’s earned at a regionally accredited university and meets additional criteria (presence of a traditional campus and established brand), an online master’s degree program is just as credible as a traditional degree.

How Long Does an Online Master’s Program Take to Complete?

It typically takes two years to complete your master’s degree. The flexibility of an online university program, however, makes it possible to earn your master’s degree in less than two years depending on your level of commitment.
