		<description>18 credit hours is equal to six courses, which will take at least two semesters to complete (9 hours / semester is full time for grad school).  

However, to take any grad school course you must first have completed a bachelor&#039;s degree.  Specifically in your case you must also first be accepted to a computer science grad school program just to enroll to take those courses.  This means you need to have a good GPA (3.0 minimum).  

Therefore, without a bachelor&#039;s degree you will need at least two more years of full time study just to get one, and possibly more, if not all your credits are accepted into a bachelor&#039;s program.  Then at least one year for grad school.  So, 3 years full time studies minimum.   However, you will probably want to finish the master&#039;s program first since it&#039;s a waste just to leave after one year (understand that it&#039;s different than undergrad where you can pick your studies up later, often this is difficult if not impossible to do without having to start over).  So considering 2 years for a typical master&#039;s program duration, that&#039;s 4 years more for you.</description>
