PhD in Religion - Ethics and Society in Nashville United States | Vanderbilt University

This program equips students to conduct research and instruct courses in theological education and religious studies. It emphasizes religion's societal and ethical impact in contemporary culture. Participants must successfully combine coursework in religious scholarship, philosophical and theological ethics, social ethics, and analytical social theory. Ethics students must additionally pursue a secondary concentration, which can be fulfilled through another specialization within the Graduate Department of Religion (such as Hebrew Bible, New Testament, Historical Studies, Critical Studies in Asian, Islamic, and Jewish Traditions, Homiletics and Liturgics, Religion, Psychology, and Culture, or Theological Studies). Alternatively, students may select a minor from various related fields in humanities and social sciences (including philosophy, classics, political theory, comparative literature, historical studies, medical humanities, anthropology, sociology, political science, among others).
