G-REL-PHD - Religion - PhD

The Graduate Program in Religion offers a PhD in religion. The program is a collaboration between the Department of Religious Studies and Duke Divinity School.

For the PhD, students may concentrate their studies in one of the following fields of study: Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, New Testament, early Christianity, American religions, history of Judaism, Islamic studies, world Christianity, religion, aesthetics & society, Christian theological studies, religion and modernity, and Asian religions.

The program of doctoral studies normally presumes a foundation in the academic study of religion. Students applying for graduate work in religion directly from an undergraduate program should possess a strong undergraduate major in religion or a closely related field.
