The doctoral program offers a challenging, cross-disciplinary curriculum designed to equip students for roles in academia, research, and community-oriented leadership. Participants cultivate advanced expertise in methodologies and theoretical frameworks within their selected specialization, while acquiring comprehensive knowledge about religious studies as a field, and collaborate in generating original scholarship. Typically completed in 6-8 years, the program requires applicants to hold a relevant Master's degree aligned with their intended doctoral research focus.
Applicants to our graduate and professional programs are expected to be enrolled in or to have completed a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent from an accredited college or university. Applicants from a three-year bachelor’s program will be given due consideration. Because all of our programs feature competitive admission, no particular academic degree or background will guarantee admission to one of our graduate divisions.
