PhD Programs in Theater History
A program in theater history focuses on the conception and transformation of theatrical culture that originated in Ancient Greece. Students may explore various religious, cultural and political aspects that changed the role theater played in society to better understand how modern-day theater came to be.
The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
