Best Answer

It's not fixed, but 5 years is about right. ---- If you mean a doctorate degree (i.e. Biology, chemistry, philosophy, etc), many fields require up to 6 or 7 years of study, research, and publication in order to receive your Ph.D.

If you are asking about how long it takes to become a physician and get your degree (MD or DO), it takes 4 years of medical school after you complete your undergraduate degree. Then you have 3 to 6 years of residency, and more if you desire fellowship training.

If you are asking about a combined MD/Ph.D or DO/Ph.D program, usually these are 6 years in length after undergraduate studies. Tack on the same time for residency and fellowship.

Which scenario were you asking about?

Depending on the type of degree and how many classes that you take. Usually, 2 years for an associates degree, 4 years for a bachelors, an extra 3 years on top of that for a masters and (not to sure on this one), an extra 4 years for a doctor (M.D.) or doctorate (PHD). It all mainly depends on the career that you choose, the number of available classes and the amount of classes that you take.
