How much is enough for MLIS?

I finished my MLIS in 2 and half year (graduated in 2005). In the normal situation the program for a "part time" student takes 3 years to finish. A "full time" student should do it in less than 3 years for sure, since they don't have anything to do except studying.

From my experience after finishing the MLIS program, I think a "part time" student can finish the degree in 2 years, if they take 3 classes in each semester. I did this at the last year of my degree, I found that the stress with 3 classes was the same as 2 classes, so why delaying yourself if you are in front of stress all the time and in all situation.

What you think do you agree or no? How much is enough to finish MLIS degree?

Yes, I agree that 2 years is enough for people who have not got much more responsibilities. But, people with children and job and LIS! no, it is not easy.

I think that it shouldn't take more than 2 years for a person to get his/her master degree. Otherwise, it would be exhausting.
Usually students get their master degree in one year abroad, possibly because they have summer courses or because they can take heavier load per semester.
Anyway, I know some part-timers who took 3 courses per semester and they could manage it well. But if some students feel they cannot make it, then they should call for summer courses or reduction of each class assignments. There will always be a way but if people took action!
