PhD Programs

• 
• Program Type: PhD Program
• Anthropology, PhD
• Phd Program Details: Distinguished faculty in these areas enable the program to attract outstanding graduate students who excel in national research grant competitions. Students find a supportive environment, accessible faculty, and superb research resources. Most students enter directly into the Ph.D. program and earn a Master of Arts (M.A.) degree along the way after completing the necessary courses and paperwork. Some students enter the Ph.D. program with a Master's degree in hand and may apply to transfer up to 24 credits from graduate anthropology courses taken elsewhere in the last six years. Students may also apply to the master's program, either making an M.A. their ultimate or "terminal" goal, or reapplying to the Ph.D. program after completion of the M.A.

• Art History, PhD
• Phd Program Details: The school of graduate studies at Rutgers mandates a minimum of three years of full-time study for the PhD, consisting of two years of coursework (48 credits), and at least one year of research (24 credits), culminating in the dissertation. Most students, particularly in the humanities and social science, require more than three years to complete all requirements. In the PhD program in Art History, most students require either two or three years to complete coursework and a minimum of two or three years to complete fieldwork and writing for the dissertation.

• Chemistry & Chemical Biology, PhD
• Phd Program Details: The Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology (CCB) is committed to providing exceptional education through interdisciplinary coursework and laboratory training of research scientists. With state-of-the-art research facilities and internationally recognized faculty, CCB offers the tools and collaboration needed to develop and explore groundbreaking ideas across the many fields touched by chemistry. CCB offers a rigorous Ph.D. program that balances directed research with coursework to prepare graduates for careers in industry, academia, and government. The department also offers two M.S. tracks (coursework or research thesis) designed for industrial chemists seeking to enrich their knowledge base or to better prepare recent undergraduates for a doctoral program.

• Comparative Literature, PhD
• Phd Program Details: The Graduate Program in Comparative Literature offers opportunities for talented and independent students to explore questions about the nature and history of global expressive forms. Transcending national and linguistic boundaries, and drawing on a richly diverse faculty, the program helps students analyze the complex field of relations underlying concepts such as genre, medium, movement, and canon. In this respect, areas of particular importance for the program include literary theory, the social history of cultural production, and the relationship of literature with other fields. Beyond the provinces of academic specialization, however, it is the very distinction between literary and nonliterary discourses that Comparative Literature puts in question, and thus redefines, through a curriculum which, while carefully constructed, allows students to follow their own interests.
