Welcome to our Graduate Program

The Religion Department offers a Master of Arts degree (MA) and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Religion. Graduate students in Religion engage in long-term, in-depth study in their selected area of specialization. They complete coursework related to their specialization, as well as in Theories and Methods in the Study of Religion, and in one of two tracks: Religion in a Global Society, or Religion in the Americas.

The graduate programs at UGA are flexible and provide you with a strong basis for a career in academia or outside of it. The Phd in Religion allows one to  focus on an area of study, generating a book-length manuscript, and provides opportunities to gain teaching experience in a public research university.
