Using a method by which the time is calculated from the point the person joins the department until the time they are formally awarded their PhD degree at a hooding ceremony is 5.3 years. Note that the thesis defense may occur many months before the actual degree is conferred. As a result the actual time to degree average reported above is skewed and is truly an overestimate.
