    Ppl take 5years of classes to get to a Masters degree and another 5 to a Doctorate. Can someone explain to me what is going on here?

      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.
