While creating my profile, it is asking me if my masters degree was parttime or fulltime(req:15hrs or more /week)

My classes are never 15hrs/week. However I worked 20hrs/week as GA.

Can some one help me what to choose Fulltime or Part Time ??
 
Sounds like part time to me. Have you done ECA already? What is written on your ECA if you have one.

The definition of full-time vs. part-time varies by institution. Did your university consider you a part-time or a full-time student? Usually, you have to be full-time to be a TA/RA...

Is any degree "full time"?... I mean, you have a few lectures a day but... That's normal isn't it?

My masters degree in the UK was Monday to Thursday from 10 am to 5 pm. I think I would consider that full time.

Maybe i was just a really bad student ;)
 
I got my WES evaluation complete. It doesnt mention anything about being fulltime or parttime. All it says is the degree is equivalent to Canadian Master's
 
Dears, i have same confusion, ECA says "Masters degree generally compares to the completion of an executive master of business administration degree" it should be mentioned as full time or part time and does this have any impact
 
Full time or part time is based on what your college classified you as. In the US, for grad school more than 9 credit hours/semester is full time. Less than 9 hours is part time.
 
Agree with above, depends on what your school classifies the course as.

For example I've done my 2 years Masters in apprenticeship. So roughly, 1 week at school, 1 week at work. I was puzzled whether I should claim it as full-time course and also if I should claim my work experience.

What I ended up doing:
- Master: full time course status, according to university
- Job: counted it as 1 year full time, since my work contract said I was a full time employee of the company for 2 years. But technically, I was only there for 6 months a year. I just added an LOE to explain

i think this is what i will do i am really puzzled on how i can go about it. My university claims my masters as full time but i was only studying friday 2-5 and satdy and sunday 8-5
