Ph.D. Program in American Religious History
Assistant Director of Graduate Studies: Tisa Wenger
Teaching Group in American Religious History: Jamil Drake (Divinity), Zareena Grewal (AMST), Kathryn Lofton, Sally Promey (AMST), Tisa Wenger (Divinity)
These guidelines are intended to provide information concerning the program in American Religious History within the Department of Religious Studies. The aim is to provide a series of norms to serve as points of reference from which a program of study can be developed. All students must work with the faculty, the Assistant Director of Graduate Studies for American Religious History (ADGS) and Director of Graduate Studies (DGS) of the department to define their own particular program. Students will meet early in their program with faculty from the American Religious History teaching group, and others where appropriate, to define their needs and design a course of study which will best prepare them for their qualifying examination and subsequent work. One of the hallmarks of this doctoral program is the very small student-teacher ratio which is purposefully maintained to encourage collaborative mentoring and careful oversight of student development. Adjustments in students’ programs can be made to accommodate newly developing interests and changing course offerings.
