  • Doctorate 1 Doctorate
    Doctorate 1 Doctorate A doctorate is an academic degree or professional degree that, in most countries, qualifies the holder to teach at the university level in the specific field of his or her degree, or to work in a specific profession. The research doctorate, or the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and its equivalent titles, represents the highest academic qualification. While the structure of U.S. doctoral programs is more formal and complex than in some other systems, the research doctorate is not awarded for the preliminary advanced study that leads to doctoral candidacy, but rather for successfully completing and defending the independent research presented in the form of the doctoral dissertation (thesis). Several first-professional degrees use the term “doctor” in their title, such as the Juris Doctor and the US version of the Doctor of Medicine, but these degrees do not universally contain an independent research component or always require a dissertation (thesis) and should not be confused with PhD degrees or other research doctorates.[1] In fact many universities offer Ph.D followed by a professional doctorate degree or joint Ph.D. with the professional degree (most often Ph.D. work comes sequential to the professional degree): eg. Ph.D. in law after J.D. or equivalent [2][3][4][5] in physical therapy after DPT,[6][7] in pharmacy after DPharm.[8][9] Often such professional degrees are refereed as entry level doctorate program [10][11][12] and Ph.D as postprofessional doctorate. In some countries, the highest degree in a given field is called a terminal degree, although this is by no means universal (the term is not in general use in the UK, for example), practice varies from country to country.
