How long does it take to earn a degree in anthropology?

A typical bachelor’s degree program takes four years to complete. However, some students may finish their degree in as little as three years or they may take longer if they enroll on a part-time basis. Master’s degrees in anthropology usually take an additional two years, and a doctorate can take three to five years, depending on your previous level of education. For example, a student with a bachelor’s degree in anthropology may take longer to complete their doctorate education than a student with a master’s in anthropology.
