Most students require four or five years of full-time studies. The length varies depending on the background and interests of the student. Unlike bachelors’ and masters’ programs, PhD program requirements do not depend solely on taking a certain number of courses. Course requirements depend on student interests and backgrounds. The time required to complete a dissertation varies as well.

A minimum of three years of graduate study beyond the M.A. is usually the minimum amount of time needed to complete all the requirements for the doctoral degree. However, because our students typically hold half-time teaching or research assistantships, most complete a degree in 4 years.
