it depends on the field. Usually its anythere from 2 years (if youre really good) to 10 years.

 

[enigma]

From my university, it takes 2-3 years to get a Masters degree, and another 2-5 years for the PhD.

The average is 5-6 years after undergraduate

 

[drag]

Yep, 2 years minimum. Usually the majority of it is research work
into your field of expertise.

Live long and prosper.

Skip your MS and go straight to PhD, you won't need it. And plan on 6 years, 2 for classes and 4 for research.

Not going for PhD though.
