The median time spent in completing a Ph.D. has risen over the past two to three decades to slightly more than 10 years. Yet scholars have stated that the complete course of study to earn a PhD should take no more than two or, at most, three years of graduate study. Since our university accepts mid-career, seasoned, highly skilled, self-directed professionals, most have formal academic and/or experiential learning beyond peers in their professions. Persons accepted who pursue a doctors degree with us are encouraged to complete the Ph.D. degree within two years, unless the constraints of personal or professional responsibilities prohibit fulfilling degree requirements in that period.

Time to degree may be extended for up to no more than three years following the second anniversary of admission to a Ph.D. program and for a total of five years of enrollment. Theodore Ziolskowki, dean of the graduate school at an Ivy League university, offers an informed discussion about time-to-degree in his article “The Ph.D. Squid,” published in The American Scholar, Volume 59, Number 2, 1990.
