PhD Programmes in Scientific History

Scientific history explores the development of a particular field of study such as physics, astronomy and ecology. Scientific historians analyze the evolution of their particular field of study to establish theories and hypotheses that can continue the growth of their science.

The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
