how many years should a phd be completed
For persons who combine a master's degree and a PhD at the same institution, 5 years seems to be a typical length of time to completion. With the AuD degree being so new, it is currently unclear how long a PhD will take after the AuD or the length of time to complete a combined AuD/PhD (research degree).et's assume that a PhD is finished in about 4 years. The first 2 years will include taking courses, many of which will be courses from outside the CSD department. The choice of course work varies by student but always includes several research methods and statistical analysis courses.
