No there are most certainly no Phd programs that take two years (most take between 5 and 10 years) - what might be a confusion is that you can complete most if not all of your course work in about two years but then you have a year to study and take your general exams and two to three years to do your research and write the dissertation, and this is for the US system - Bertrand, didn't you tell me that in France it can take up to 15 years to complete a Phd, with all of its teaching requirements?
