Although the length of time could vary considerably, here's a typical timetable, assuming the student already holds a Master's degree.
2 years of coursework
1 year preparing for and passing language exams and comprehensive exams
2 years researching, writing, revising, and defending the dissertation
This timetable could be extended by a bit (a year or more) if the student is teaching full-time during dissertation research, or if dissertation research includes lots of archival research, or research abroad.

oftentimes, there are 2 years of coursework, a 365 days of qualifying checks and language checks, and a pair of-3 years of dissertation study and writing, culminating in the protection. Plan on about 5 years, yet recognize that more beneficial time must be mandatory if there's a fieldwork or archival area of your study, or in case you eventually end up with a preparation position or different employment earlier to ending up your dissertation.

Well, it depends on the student, on the subject of his dissertation, on his adviser, on the school, and no doubt other factors. However, history in general is a *****; it's common for a Ph.D. to take 8 years after your Bachelor's degree. Not a lot of jobs either.
