graduate school - 1 or 2 Year Master's Program


I originally posted this on math.stackexchange but was recommended to post here.


I have been admitted to two Master's Programs in math (both with funding). One is 1 year long and the other is 2 years long. I plan on obtaining a PhD directly afterwards.


The 1 year option lets me save one year. But I would have to apply to PhD programs within the first semester and it seems I would not have time to get good recommendation letters or make a strong impression from my Master's Program. The 2 years option would give me more chance to demonstrate what I've done.


If they are comparable programs, which would be the better choice?
