    What is a Master’s Degree?

    A master’s degree provides a high level of mastery or skill in a particular subject. Aside from making you a more desirable candidate, a master’s degree can increase your earning potential and provide opportunities for advancement at your current job.

    Drexel’s online master’s degree programs offer a comprehensive list of features including:

    • Flexible Scheduling
      Whether you're a shift worker, a parent, or have responsibilities that require an adaptable schedule, we understand our online students need a certain level of flexibility. This is why most of our online master's courses allow you to complete weekly assignments when it's convenient for you.

    • Support from the Digital Dragon Community

    Are Online Master’s Degrees Credible and Recognized?

    Earning your master’s degree at a 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.

    Learn more about how online learning works.

    What are the Benefits of a Master’s Degree?

    A master’s degree is an excellent way to advance your career. By carving out time to pursue a graduate degree you’re showing potential employers how committed you are to your work.

    How exactly can a master’s degree benefit your career?

    • Competitive Advantage
      Continuing your educational journey means employers recognize immediately that you've earned advanced education and higher tiered credentials, and you're dedicated to continuously furthering your knowledge.
    • Advance Your Career
      Earning a master’s degree can help you transition to a management or leadership position at your current or future job.
    • Increase Your Salary
      While this is never a guarantee and can vary by location or industry, earning your graduate degree and advancing your career may also increase your earning potential.
    • Learn with the Best
      Earning your graduate degree at Drexel places you in a network of Dragons known for innovation, ambition, workforce readiness, and leadership.

    What is the Difference Between a Master’s Degree and a Doctoral Degree?

    While there are differences between a master's degree and a doctoral degree, both will positively impact your career. Here are a few things to think about when you're considering pursuing an online graduate degree:

    • A doctorate degree is more advanced than a master's degree
    • You can earn your master’s degree in a variety of fields and subjects, whereas doctorates are ideal for those seeking a career as an educator or researcher
    • At the end of a doctorate program, students typically present a dissertation
    • A master’s degree usually takes 2-3 years to complete while a doctoral program takes 4-8
