How long will it take to graduate with a UNC-CH MPA degree? 

If you are an on-campus student, you will graduate in two years (three years if you are a dual-degree student). On-campus students take three to four classes (nine or more credits) per semester. Online students generally take two classes per semester if they work full-time. Most online students finish the program within two to two and a half years, but students have up to five years to complete the program.
