No it does not take longer. They are equivalent degrees. Holders of a DO are known as osteopathic physicians, while holders of an MD are sometimes referred to as allopathic physicians. D.O.s are trained in much the same way as M.D.s, with the addition of osteopathic manipulative medicine techniques. Osteopaths also believe strongly in the healing power of the body and do their best to facilitate that strength. During this century, the disciplines of osteopathy and allopathic medicine have been converging.

How many years does it take to earn a master degree in computer science?

If you already have a bachelors degree in computer science, then you can complete a masters degree in one year (two semesters) of full time study. If you have a bachelors degree in some other field, you will probably need to take some number of additional undergraduate courses which will depend on your degree and the particular school. Someone with an undergraduate degree in engineering will obviously need fewer extra courses than if your degree is in English. If you lack an undergraduate degree, then add four years.
