It all depends on what kind of masters degree it is.
Most US masters degrees range in credit requirements from as low as only 24 semester credit hours (very rare, but they're out there); to typically no less than 32 to 36 semester credit hours (the latter being fairly common); to, at the higher end, from 42 to 48 semester credit hours. I'm even aware of some 54 semester credit hour masters degrees. It all just depends on what is the subject, and what school is teaching the degree.
A typical two-year masters degree is around 36 semester credit hours, give or take (again, depending on the school).
Do not judge the difficulty of it, based on your undergrad experience, though. Graduate-level coursework is harder than undergraduate level. You'll spend a little longer in class for each semester credit hour at the graduate level; but you'll mostly work a lot harder -- many more hours -- of doing "homework" (reading, writing and preparing for exams).
And then there's the thesis! Lots, and lots of research; and then writing lots and lots -- and lots -- of words, with gabazillions of footnotes and an impressive bibliography; all pursuant to a certain specified style manual. And all under the watchful eye of an advisor. Plus you'll probably have to have it professionally bound, to boot! No small thing, that thesis!
I'm not trying to dissuade you from doing it; but just, please, have your eyes wide open about what's involved.
