The Doctor of Arts is an established alternative to the Ph.D.
degree. In the 1960s and 1970s, universities embraced Doctor of
Arts degree programs to prepare students for careers as master
teachers with an especially in-depth knowledge of a specific
specialization.
At St. John’s, the D.A. in Modern World History offers an
interdisciplinary approach to the study of world history, focusing
on modernization and seeking to encourage global awareness in the
teaching of history.
