APU online master's programs are ideal if you want a more in-depth study of your undergraduate degree or to pursue new academic study in another field. You must have completed a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution before starting a master's degree program at APU. Master's degrees range from 30 to 47 semester hours (about 10-15 courses) and culminate with a capstone course. Dual degree programs allow for completion of two master's degrees within a compressed time frame with one culminating capstone experience.
