PhD Program
Research Doctoral Program: Ph.D. Degree
In addition to our undergraduate- and graduate-level studies programs, NOBTS also offers a research doctoral program designed to meet the needs of post-graduate students who seek preparation for teaching and specialized ministry leadership.
The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree program is the highest academic degree awarded at NOBTS. Majors are offered in Christian education, church history, evangelism, missions, New Testament, Old Testament, preaching, psychology and counseling, and theology. The research community consists of about 30 professors and 100 students.
A primary goal of the degree is to prepare candidates for a vocation in theological instruction, and Christian scholarly research and ministry. NOBTS Ph.D. graduates have held teaching positions in over 80 educational institutions. Full-time teaching positions have been secured by 46 of the 174 graduates in the 80s, 52 of the 152 graduates in 90s, and 27 of the 98 graduates from 2000 to the present.
The program is directed through the Office of Research Doctoral Programs, Dr. Charlie Ray, Associate Dean (phone: 1-800-NOBTS-01, ext. 8010 or 504-816-8010; fax: 504-816-8039; e-mail: phd@nobts.edu). Additional information may be found on the following links.
