Overall, the time it takes UC doctoral students to complete their degrees has fallen from 6.3 years for those graduating in 1998-2000 to 5.8 years for those graduating in 2005-07.

Recent humanities Ph.D.'s are the one exception to this trend; they took about 6 months longer to complete their degrees than those who graduated 10 years earlier.
