This Ph.D. program in Religious Studies trains researchers to develop and apply high-level expertise in the non-theological, multidisciplinary study of religious phenomena, engaging students with contemporary academic debates in the scientific study of religion in general and of specific religious traditions. Students may specialize in one of five areas: religious history, contemporary religious phenomena, ethics and religion, theory of religion, and Jewish studies. A feminist studies concentration is also available, training researchers to produce innovative work that advances feminist thought within their doctoral research. The 90-credit program requires candidates to present and have approved an outline of a research project, and to complete an interview before the admission subcommittee. Full-time study takes four years and part-time study six years, with courses offered in the evening and admission in the Fall or Winter term.
