Graduates who enroll in doctoral degree programs are expected to complete requirements within three to seven years, during which time candidates should have reached the epitome of academic or professional achievement. By the time an individual completes a doctoral program, he or she should be qualified or licensed to teach, as the Latin term, "licentia docendi" implies. The prerequisites for earning a doctorate in most fields requires completion of a master's level program; and doctoral candidates are considered to have mastered an above average knowledge of a chosen field in order to teach others.
