A Ph.D. is not about the classes, it’s about the research. The classes are to prepare you to do research. If you’re interested in the classes do a Master’s. Georgia Tech has a great one in CS for under $10K[1] and the University of London has many in other fields for not much more[2].

- bigred100 7y agoYeah indeed. In a very course heavy program you might take 12 courses. At two per semester that’s half of your 40 hour week for 3 of 5 years. That means you’re spending 30% max on coursework. Even less if you include your summers as working weeks. Say like 15-20% then.
