PhD programs generally have a 50-60% completion rate.

I started a PhD in fall of 2023. I have been working on research with my advisor since starting as well as working at my current job while completing my courses.

There are only 13 courses which can be completed in 2 years, but the research portion of the PhD tends to take another 3ish? years for incredibly nebulous reasons.

I will update this market with any relevant information as it goes on.

Feel free to ask for relevant info.
