PhD is still a PhD in any continent. How academics organize their work is another question.

It is actually not. Many 3 year PhD or part time ones are not recognized for immigration or jobs in USA.

1. PhD in the USAs are 3 years too if you count like europeans do (we don't include the masters) 2. Industrial PhDs are not part time PhDs, it's a different thing.

It's immigration policy, not qualitative PhD difference.
