    PhD Programs in Pastoral Care

    Pastoral care is a model of emotional, spiritual, social, or religious support that is used by many different faiths. This is an excellent program for those who wish to pursue religious based work and may also be useful for counselors or therapists.

    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.
