1) Do you have any preference for the length of the program that you will like to take in our college?

2) Program of what length/how many years are you interested in?

3) The more you work the more prosperous you will get/become.


Are the above sentences correct? Please advise. :) I have been trying to figure out how to write the above sentences but with no success. :-:)-(

1 Needs a couple of changes: I would remove the definite article before "program", and it's "would like", not "will like".
2: What length program are you interested in?
3. Both "get" and "become" work because, in this context, they mean the same thing.

I wouldn't use "get" in #3, "become" is much better stylistically.

For #2, you could also use "How long a program are you interested in?"
