Harvard encourages people to finish in 8 years by deleting one position for each student over that time. It encourages academic staff to stay on track.
You have to wonder about the rigor of some of the distance doctoral programs when people can finish in record time with a full-time job. I think Douglas had his research done and dissertation finished at 5 months with a full time job.
You know something is wrong when a bone-head like degreeinfo's "me again" has almost finished his doctorate.
A doctorate awarded for a dissertation done on the basis of a freshman level survey seems too simple. And he missed the whole gist of his research and still doesn't get it. That being that unaccredited degrees are relatively useful.
