Like around a two year course?

    There are dual degree programs that exist, but you aren't telling what area you would want to get that Ph.D program in.

    Many MBA programs in the USA can be completed in two years. There may be a few that can be completed in 12 or 18 months, and there are certainly many that take more than two years.

    Unless you are some kind of prodigy, I wouldn't expect you to be able to complete a legitimate, accredited PhD program of any kind that is available in the USA in two years, and certainly not in conjunction with an MBA. In the UK, there are doctoral programs that are based solely on research, and if you are a prodigy of some kind, it is conceivable that you could complete a PhD in two years in one of those research-based programs.

    Tell us what you want that PhD to be in, and we will be able to give you better answers.

    I don't think so. Most MBAs are taught Master's degrees that take between 2 to 5 years to complete. They usually culminate in a short personal project, case study or piece of guided research.

    A PhD is awarded based on a lengthy piece of unique and individual research in a specialized area at a post-Master's level. This can take several years to complete.

    They would be too different to combine in their present forms.
