Hello, Mason !
I apologize, but there is no answer to your question but I can share some advice and information for you that may help steer you in a good direction. Learning something has nothing to do with the length of time it takes for someone to learn it. It has to do with understanding the information and being able to apply it to what you want to do.
No one here knows your learning style or how much animation experience you already have or what school or college you would be taking courses/classes at. That is why the question you've asked would have to be answered by yourself after being well informed by the school or college, seeing what courses they offer. This will be something for which you'd have to be self-directed and you will recognize when you personally will reach master level.
See what classes or courses are available at your school or college and if you really can't tell which courses will teach you what you want, see your academic advisor or one of your teachers so that they can explain it to you. You seem to know exactly which program you want to learn, and if it is Blender, you can download Blender for free from the Blender official website.
Once you download Blender, you'll see that there's a lot to learn. Start to explore the program and see all of the things it does and read any user manual that comes with the program. You learn it by using it and practicing it everyday.
Do a search online for colleges that offer a major in Film, Animation or Computer Graphics, something connected to what you want to do. Some things you will learn through courses, but some things you will have to practice on your own with specific programs. Try not to set your mind on a "master" level before you even begin. Concentrate on learning the program and implementing it. Focus, repetition and giving yourself time is what will be important.
I hope this helps and I wish you all the best !

You can never fully master anything because there's always something new as tools keep improving. I graduated with my MFA from the Academy of Arts University in Animation and Visual Effects. They offer a wide range of training in the arts. I mostly used Autodesk Maya for 3D animation, a tool that's popular in major productions and large studios. It's known as the industry standard and can be expensive unless you get a student version. Blender is also popular with small studios, freelancers, and independent artists for game development, animation, and VFX. It's free or low-cost. There are plenty of online tutorials and classes for both tools.
Becoming great at something requires lots of practice, training, and determination. Many online tutorials, sessions, and classes are available, and most are free or affordable. You can search for 'Blender and Maya Top 10 tutorials' or 'Top 10 animation tutorials' and find plenty of resources, including YouTube videos.
Keep chasing your dream. It might seem far away, but it's within reach if it's truly what you want.

Practice, practice, practice! Look online for communities and groups that support your art focus and start networking. This field of work can be competitive so you will want to have a strong portfolio.
Diversify your talents, as well! There are a LOT of jobs that go into any sort of animation, with specialty focuses. No one person is responsible for a scene-- a team of people will work on different parts from storyboarding, camera work, lighting, rigging, coloring, special effects, backgrounds, etc. See which specialty brings you the most joy and focus in on that, while practicing other specialties.
Youtube has a lot of free content to help teach and guide you. Stay curious!
