The PhD in Religion enables students to specialize in a specific field of study, produce a dissertation-length work, and gain teaching experience in Religious Studies. Focus areas include Global Religions and Religions in America.
The Religion Department provides a curriculum culminating in a Doctor of Philosophy in Religion. This doctoral program seeks to explore religion through historical, theoretical, and practical lenses. With this comprehensive approach, the PhD program trains scholars to earn their degree with specializations in either Religion in a Global Society or Religion in the Americas, where they develop expertise in specific religious traditions or academic disciplines. A primary goal is to equip graduates for careers as researchers and professors in religious studies at top-tier universities. However, those pursuing non-academic careers related to religion will also benefit from this degree. The program's focus on global perspectives and diverse American religious traditions prepares graduates to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.
