Typically a bachelors is 4 years, masters is usually 2 years, doctorate is usually 4-7 years. She already had a bachelor’s in law and not all phd programs require a masters degree. Her’s did not require a masters prerequisite. They started their PhD’s in 2014 and defended in 2019. They went to Broad Institute because they agreed to allow them to start their research during their practicum years.
