1 PhD Programs in Chinese Studies 2023

Chinese studies allow scholars to engage with contemporary China by studying religion, popular culture, and economics. Students may also learn about history and literature and study the changes in China’s international relations and law.

The PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) is a doctoral or post-graduate degree. PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy), and PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways. To receive a PhD a student must demonstrate original research in their chosen field of study, produce a dissertation on that research, and defend their dissertation in front of other experts.
