That is not a degree. That is a person who has two different degrees. The MS stands for Master of Science. That is one degree. The PhD stands for Doctor of Philosophy. That is a different degree. Since the PhD is a more advanced degree and is obtained after a person gets the masters degree, a person does not list his degrees that way. When you see them listed that way, the MS is frequently in a different subject or area of study than the PhD and was not a part of the PhD program.

How long does it take to get a Ph.D for engineering?

If you all ready have your MS/MA the degree will take you 4-7 years. Universities normally give a PhD candidate up to 7 years to finish the degree. The last year or two is writing the dissertation/research. If you begin the degree without the MA/MS in middle of the program you will earn your degree and then go on to the PhD phase. This could add time to the process. I suggest you do the MA/MS first, take a break, and then do the PhD. To finish a PhD takes a great deal of focus and work. It is not an easy process and is not fun. That is why only 1% finish the degree. I finished my PhD in 3.5 years, but I lived it day and night and did nothing but write entire weekends, every night, and carried my dissertation with me in a binder to edit. The stress was constant and I was also working full time as I did the degree.
