Doctorate vs. PhD
Liberty University has many doctoral programs to choose from. Depending on the field, the highest degree may be a Ph.D. program or a doctorate of another type. These degrees are usually considered terminal degrees.
However, this comparison may differ from field to field. There typically aren’t many alternative tracks within specific disciplines to confuse – if you know the field you want to pursue, that will narrow your list of doctorate types. If you have questions about what doctorate is right for your career, contact our admissions office for more information.
For every field, there’s a degree that shows you’ve reached the top.
Maybe you’re in the field of health science, engineering, or behavioral science. Perhaps you’re a counselor or full-time ministry professional. At Liberty, we can offer you a doctoral degree in any of these fields and many more. You’ll master the knowledge of your specialization and become someone that others look to for professional guidance.
