how many years does it take after a 4year college to get a typical master's degree?

I think it depends on how much your workload is. But most programs are about 2 years in length.

An Associates Degree (in the Arts, Sciences, Fine Arts) takes two years.  Usually only junior/community colleges offer it as a degree.\n\nYou can also pick up professional certifications (IT networking, medical technician, electrician) from vocational schools or community colleges in 1-2 years usually.\n\nIf the job you want requires a Bachelor's though, you're probably going to have to get it one way or the other (online courses or evening from an accredited university might be the way to go).  Co-op's are available at a number of corporations so you can complete your studies over time and work with them in the interim.

There are 2 year and 4 year progrmas.  An associate's degree is given for the 2 year program and a bachelor's degree is given for the 4 year program.

Well, a master's degree generally takes about 2 years. However Nutrition Science programs are usually very science intensive. You would have to make up any prerequisites such as Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Anatomy and Physiology, math, etc. This may take a year or two to complete depending on your schedule and abilities. Many programs also require an internship or co-op experience which would add on another year before you can become a registered nutritionist. Overall, I would say the program would take between 3 and 4 years to complete. I would recommend talking to college advisors to help determine your exact course of action and if this is really the right option for you.

Masters is always better than bachelors, but you usually need the bachelors before you can get into a masters program.  Sometimes schools have a 4 + 1 program where in 5 years you can earn a undergrad and masters, but its rare.

most graduate schools recommend you complete the masters program course in 2 years, or at least be pretty close to completion at that point.

Good question. To some extent it depends on the type of occupation that you are interested in. Some of the occupations are quite skill-based and they might best be learned in a trade or technical school (and you couldn't find these programs at four year colleges). Some occupations--engineering, for example--you can only enter with a four-year degree.\n\nOthers are increasingly seeking persons with a broader education. For example, nurses are increasingly obtaining a bachelor's degree in nursing as entry level and as a requirement for advancement in the field. More persons in construction management, for example, are seeking four year degrees. Many businesses look for managers who have MBA degrees, which are earned following graduation from a four year school.\n\nIt also depends on what you want from a higher education. A higher education has traditionally meant learning not just a major area of study but also broad learning in arts, humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. It has meant being in a learning community where you can meet and interact with people from different regions, belief systems, points of view. It meant having your current beliefs challenged--not necessarily to change all your beliefs, but to encourage you to examine why you believe what you believe and how you can actively pursue your beliefs and values. I think that this is one of the important parts of a four year degree program. It helps you be more aware of the world, understand more of what people talk about, and appreciate art, music, etc. This is what higher education really is. It isn't exactly straight job skills, but it does help you learn skills that translate well to a job.\n\nFor example, the skills that most employers are looking for have to do with things such as analytical ability, ability to communicate, to do research, to solve problems, and to understand others. These skills are commonly called transferrable skills because they "transfer" to any job. Take a look here for a more in-depth discussion of transferrable skills: http://www.quintcareers.com/job_skills_values.html\n\nWith regard to experience, it isn't necessarily that employers prefer experience to education, its that they want both, and new graduates may not have the experience that employers want. But there are ways to get this experience while you are a student. There is cooperative education--where you alternate semesters of study with job placements. There is volunteer work, student organization leadership, summer jobs, internships and service learning. All are ways that you can get experience. Oftentimes internships and service learning end up leading to jobs with the companies or agencies in which you did your internship.\n\nBest wishes to you in your future. This is a great question to ponder as you plan your future.

It really varies quite a bit, depending on your current level of education, where you want to teach, and what you want to teach.  Some speciality areas require a masters.  Total time can range from 4 years (probably minimum) to 7 years.  If you want to teach ESL in Korea or Japan there are situations where you can get a job with just a BA, but most teaching jobs require more.  YOu may be able to get a job teachign in some countries such as China or the Czech Republic without a degree.  In Canada and the US you probably need at least two degrees for most situations - an arts or science degree (B.A. or B.Sc.) and a teaching degree (B.ED. or M.Ed.)

With a two year college you receive your associates degree.  4 year college you get a bachelors degree.  2 year colleges are good to start at because they are less expensive than 4 year colleges and that way you can get your generals done at a cheaper cost.

Associates: 2 years\nBachelors: 4 years\nMasters: 5 to 6 years\nPhD: 6 to 8 years\n\nNote that this is cumulative (ie, a PhD is usually 2 years after the Master's, which is 1 year after the Bachelor's, which is 2 years after the Associates, which takes 2 years).\n\nIt may take longer depending on whatever internships or practicuum are required by your course of study.

I think that is right.  So that means (at least in the US) 4 years of college, 4 years of medical scholl and 4 years of residency.  Sometimes these people can also do a fellowship after the residency for special fields (usually about 1 year).

Depends on the University and the program, they are all different and measure units differently.  Northwestern measures units as individual classes so one class equals one credit, while other schools measure a credit hour based on how many hours of class you have each week in that class and so on.  For associates typically, 60 hours, Bachelors 120 hours.  A masters depends on the program and where you go.  A lot of masters degrees are 24-30 hours beyond a Bachelors but you can't take the same amount of classes at a time.  A Ph.D. can take from 3-7 years depending on the degree and program beyond your masters.  It all depends in what and where you go.

You can get a Master's Degree at almost any University.  It taken after you have earned a BS or a BA.  It is usually around 40-50 units and can take anywhere from 2-7 years depending on the program and your level of involvement.  It is normally supposed to take 2-3 years though.  Many programs require you to take the GRE before admission.  Check out your local University website for more info on their grad programs.
