The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree.

That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.

Courses in the social sciences prepare students to engage within human society. Through courses such as economics, political science, anthropology, sociology, history, and psychology, students may gain a better understanding of how the world around them works.
