    PhD Programs in Modern History

    Students who wish to investigate an age of tumultuous politics and global wars might be interested in a modern history program. These courses tend to focus on political, philosophical and social topics from the Age of Reason to the current day.

    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.
