It depends on the Ph.D. program you apply to. Generally speaking you can expect about 2 years of actual coursework. The rest of the time is spent teaching, working on original research, and producing a dissertation. The entire process can take about 5 years.

The classroom work can run approximately 60 credits. However, most of the work and length of time it takes to complete the degree will be based on your dissertation and the defence of that dissertation (original topic and research).
