*Completion time based on a full-time student with a prior associate's degree. Programs will take longer for part-time students, students who take leaves of absence or drop and return, and students with a prior diploma/certificate to complete. The number of required credits may vary depending on individual state education requirements, which could affect how long it will take to complete the program. More than 52% of 2016-2017 graduates completed the program in 18 months or less (Source: Office of the Registrar, October 2017). Note: these data were reported prior to the March 2018 purchase of Kaplan University by Purdue University and subsequent creation of Purdue University Global.
