How many years of college is needed to become a mathematician?

Answer 1

If the degree sought is a bachelors level program of study, then it is designed to be a four year program of study provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college or university.

Answer 2

It varies by the educational system of each country.

Americans

The median age of Mathematics PhD recipient on the other hand is 30.3 years old.

Scenario

17/18 years starting college

4 years in undergraduate

2 years in master (Can be skip on some of the Mathematics PhD program)

4 years in PhD program

2.5 extra years due to faulty PhD thesis,examinations, ect.

29.5-30.5 years when completion of PhD of mathematics

2% of the student body complete the Phd program in 3 years.

50.8% complete the PhD by 10 years. Almost half of those who complete it in the first ten years usually do so by the end of there 5th year.

4+2+5=11 years

90% of those who graduated in 10 years usually do so by the end of the 7th year.

4+2+7=13 years

Note the brochure usually states that they can finish the PhD in 3.5 years or 4 years,but its extremely rare for someone to be able to do it thought.

8 years if everything is perfect and you were able to skip Master program.

13 years is usually the maximum that someone should take before there chance of passing the PhD program becomes abysmal.

Answer 3

To become a mathematician it usually requires a PhD but there is some aportunities with a masters degree. A PhD requires a bachelors degree (4 years) then 3-5 years for you doctorate, 2 years of Study and them your thesis which usually takes 1-3 years to complete depending on your work ethic.

Answer 4

Typically, a masters in this area can run between 33 and 36 credits. The degree for most individuals can take two to three years to complete depending on the program of study and the course load carried per semester.

Answer 5

The master's degree can take approximately two to three years to complete post bachelor's degree. The actual length of time depends on the specific program of study; the credit load carried per semester, and provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college or university.

Answer 6

A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 120 to 128 college credits particular to a specific program of study. This would be based on a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic year which is the most common. For institutions that operate on a tri-semester or quarter-semester it would be quite different. That being said, the Bachelor's degree - in most cases - is designed as a four year program of study, provided the student is full-time and follows their chosen program of study as prescribed by the college or university, and also provided the individual does not require prerequisite or developmental coursework as a result of basic skills testing. The minimum credit load for a full-time student is no less than 12 credits per semester. However, to complete the degree within the four years, a credit load of approximately 15 to 18 credits is recommended. For individuals who work or who have other responsibilities that would prohibit them from attending full-time, completion of the degree may take twice as long. Still, some of this time can be cut down by attending summer sessions and/or interim sessions. Still, there are some colleges and universities that offer accelerate programs. In addition, the bachelors and associate degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees while the masters and doctorate degrees referred to as graduate degrees.

The master's degree can take approximately two to three years to complete post bachelor's degree. The actual length of time depends on the specific program of study, the credit load carried per semester, and provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college or university.

Answer 7

4 to 5 years
