The following information is provided by the Graduate College for your general use.
If you have any questions or corrections, please contact our Data Analyst Jamie Williams jlwill@iastate.edu.
On our each of our program pages you may find the following information about the time to degree. This is how we calculated this information.
Doctoral Time-to-degree
Start date = first day of month beginning the first semester in doctoral status
End date = first day of the final month of the semester during which all degree requirements were met
Days elapsed between start and end dates divided by 365 = time-to-degree (fraction of a year)
No distinctions based on prior master’s degree, leaves away from program
Master's Time-to-degree
Start date = first day of month beginning the first semester registered as a student pursuing the degree that ultimately was conferred
End date = first day of the final month of the semester when degree requirements were met as a student pursuing the degree that ultimately was conferred
Days elapsed between start and end dates divided by 365 = time-to-degree (fraction of a year)
No distinctions based on type of master’s degree, full/part-time status, distance status, or leaves away from program
