PhD Degrees in Humanities Studies History Religious History
A religious history program can teach students about the rise and spread of religions such as Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism and Islam, to name a few. A program like this may also teach students about the relationship between societies and religion.
Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.
