Welcome Welcome to the Religion Department's graduate programs! We offer both a Master of Arts (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 Religion in a Global Society and/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 MA or PhD in Religion allows one to gain deep knowledge in a selected area. These degrees also result in valuable professional and leadership skills, such as articulating better questions, analyzing multi-layered social phenomena, making complex assessments and arguments, and understanding perspectives across differences.
