1. It should take me 4 years and hopefully no longer... As for classes... I took 3 (3 credit hour) classes my first semester... In addition I took a 1 credit hour seminar class that I take every semester... Then I also took 2 other 1 credit hour classes... Next semester I will be taking 2 maybe 3 if my advisor has his way (3 credit hour) classes and seminar... After that I have 4? 1 credit hour classes left... and 2 or 3 (3 credit hour classes)...
2. I took a year and a half off between undergrad and grad school (I got married during that time and worked)
3. I planned from the beginning to work towards my phd
4. I will be in no debt... As it was mentioned previously in science fields you have TA or GA positions... In addition I also have a fellowship...
