About the PhD Degree Programs in the USA

Graduate Program: PhD Degree

The United States ranks first in academic education. For this reason, many students apply for Doctoral studies, and most universities in the USA offer doctoral programs. America’s rigorous approach to graduate study delivers a standard of training and professional development that often surpasses the minimum requirement for a more ‘traditional’ research-focused doctorates in other countries.

The U.S. doctorates begin with of taught classes and assessments, culminating in a comprehensive exam. It’s only after passing this stage that a student confirms their final dissertation topic and gets to work researching it.

In total the length of a PhD in the USA is usually 4-6 years (full time). Students spend 1-4 years on the coursework stage of their program and 2-4 years working on their dissertation.

Requirements will depend on your graduate program, but will usually include:

  • Coursework – Your classes will be assessed through essays, exams and presentations. You will need to pass these in order to earn enough credits to complete the coursework stage of your program.
  • Examinations – Your academic competence and preparation for research will be broadly assessed before you can move on to your dissertation. These examinations may involve oral presentation or a traditional ‘closed book’ exam paper to assess your general subject knowledge. Some programs involve more than one set of exams.
  • Dissertation Proposal (Preliminary Defense) – Your proposed topic and plan will be orally examined by your dissertation committee before you can proceed to your research.
  • Dissertation Defense – The final test for your PhD will be a presentation and oral examination of your doctoral dissertation.
