After having weighed the pros and cons, I have decided to enroll, as soon as my resources will permit me, at the Atlantic International University pursue my phd. Can someone out there, who has done an online phd in about two years please tell me how many hours per day they devoted to their studies?

It is my hope that I start soonest and do it within the shortest timeframe. Thank you all.
